TEMPE, AZ In a letter sent from the US Department of Education, it outlines why the department's Office for Civil Rights is investigating Arizona State University. A student says the school failed to address ongoing retaliation by two fellow students after she filed a sexual harassment complaint against their shared Ph.D. adviser and lab supervisor at the Polytechnic Campus in Mesa. . . .
"Just because it's an investigation doesn't mean ASU is guilty right now," said Phoenix attorney BenjaminTaylor. . .
It just means that they're going to look into it to see if they violated the accuser's rights . . .
If ASU is found at fault, it's possible the school could lose federal funding if a resolution isn't negotiated. The instructor in question is no longer with ASU.
He's believed to be working out of the country which Taylor says could complicate the investigation.
"If he's across the country and they have no way of getting a hold of him by phone, by email or he just refuses to cooperate - this investigation could be stalled. . . "
