A recent graduate of the University of Cincinnati has filed a lawsuit against UC for the university’s “deliberate indifference to student-on-student sexual assault.”

The nine-page lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, claims UC violated Title IX by creating a “hostile environment” in failing to get Jennifer Schoewe's alleged attacker off campus in a timely manner after she reported she was sexually assaulted in the fall of 2015.

Schoewe was a 20-year-old junior when she says Tyler Gischel, then a 19-year-old hockey player at UC whom she had never met, raped her at his apartment after a night of drinking with friends.

Gischel said they had consensual sex. The university investigated the case, interviewed several witnesses, held an administrative hearing and ultimately found Gischel responsible for “physical abuse and/or harm."

He was expelled about eight months after Schoewe reported the assault. Gischel was also indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury on a sexual battery charge, but that case was dismissed in November 2016.

Gischel is also suing the university. His federal lawsuit, filed less than two weeks ago, claims the school ignored evidence of his innocence and unlawfully disciplined him for sexual assault.

Schoewe’s complaint isn’t about UC’s decision, but its “lack of action” in the weeks that followed her report.

Her lawsuit claims UC violated Title IX, which protects people from discrimination based on gender or sex in education programs or activities, by:

Failing to issue Gischel a “no contact order” in a timely manner.

Failing to issue Gischel an “interim suspension” in a timely manner, because the university waited until he was indicted more than a month after the incident.

Waiting eight months before holding Gischel’s disciplinary hearing. The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights says the process should be completed within 60 days.

UC’s violations, the lawsuit says, subjected Schoewe to a “hostile education environment,” deprived her of equal access to educational opportunities and caused her to suffer “significant, severe, and ongoing emotional distress and mental anguish.”

Schoewe is asking for:

Damages including tuition reimbursement; payment of Plaintiff’s expenses incurred as a consequence of the sexual assault; damages for deprivation of equal access to the educational benefits and opportunities provided by the University; and damages for past, present and future emotional pain and suffering, ongoing and severe mental anguish, and loss of past, present and future enjoyment of life.

Pre- and post-judgment interest.

Costs and attorneys’ fees.

In late 2016, Schoewe filed a complaint with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, which is now investigating how UC handled her report of sexual assault. It is among nearly 350 such complaints the department is investigatingat colleges around the country, including Miami University.

UC officials did not return messages seeking comment.
