Hillsdale College Faces Retaliation Claims Following Sexual Assault Reports

Two female students have filed a lawsuit against Hillsdale College in Michigan, accusing the conservative institution of conducting inadequate investigations into their sexual assault allegations and retaliating against them for reporting the incidents. The students claim that the college blamed them for the assaults and failed to punish the alleged perpetrators. The lawsuit alleges that the college created a toxic environment and violated its duty to protect students. Hillsdale College denies the allegations and asserts that it thoroughly investigated the claims. The college, which does not receive government funding and is not subject to Title IX regulations, argues that it still has a responsibility to address sexual assault allegations.
