**College is supposed to be a time of growth, learning, and independence. But for too many students, it’s marked by trauma — especially when colleges fail to protect them from sexual violence.** 

At GOLDLAW, we help survivors of **campus sexual assault** file civil lawsuits against universities, administrators, and institutions that failed to take meaningful action. Whether the school ignored warning signs, failed to act after reports, or created an unsafe environment — **we’re here to help survivors pursue justice.** 

## **The Campus Sexual Assault Crisis** 

According to the U.S. Department of Justice: 

- 1 in 5 women experience sexual assault during college 

- Most assaults go unreported 

- Many schools underreport incidents or fail to follow Title IX procedures 

Too often, survivors are silenced, blamed, or pushed to stay quiet — while their abuser remains on campus.

## **When a School Can Be Sued** 

You may be able to pursue legal action if a college: 

- Failed to investigate or respond to assault reports 

- Ignored a known serial predator on campus 

- Denied access to Title IX protections 

- Failed to provide support services, housing accommodations, or protection 

- Created or tolerated a hostile or dangerous environment 

These failures are not just moral — **they are legal violations.**
