Response to Today’s News Article
Today, a news article portrayed LSU as an institution that is indifferent to allegations
of abuse and sexual violence among students. Specifically, the article points to a
number of allegations of misconduct from 2016 to 2018 that were allegedly ignored,
dismissed outright or mishandled by coaches and university officials. I want to assure
you that LSU takes every report of sexual assault or violence seriously. We investigate
them thoroughly, support victims sensitively, and hold offenders accountable. However,
we are not perfect, and we can, and will, do better. A single instance of abuse or
sexual violence is one too many.
