Investigation Into University of Kansas Still Unresolved

A federal investigation into the University of Kansas for its handling of a sexual assault complaint is still unresolved amid a national backlog of cases.

The U.S. Education Department released a list in May 2014 that showed colleges that were under investigation. At that time, there were 55 open investigations nationwide. The number has since increased to 134.

A department spokesman says 11 cases have been resolved since May 2014. The department says it doesn’t comment on individual cases.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that a spokeswoman says the school is cooperating with the department but declined to say more.
