A former Drury University student is suing the school.

She claims the university didn't do enough to protect her and other female students from sexual assault on campus.

Lawsuit documents say the student was a freshman at Drury when a man attending college there sexually assaulted her in a dorm room in 2017, and then physically assaulted her the next day.

The student says she reported the assaults to her school counselor.

Her lawsuit says the school referred her to Drury's Title 9 office, where she was told by the head of security not to file a police report.

The court filing says the University launched an investigation and moved the man to a different dorm. But it says he continued to sneak in to the victim's dorm.

More than a month later, Drury finished their investigation and determined that the male student violated the Title 9 sexual misconduct policy, including the provisions of sexual harassment.

The woman's lawsuit says the man who assaulted her was allowed to stay on campus, but was not allowed to talk to her or even enroll in the same classes she was taking.

Here is the statement Drury University sent KY3/KSPR:

"We were notified today that Drury University has been named in a lawsuit involving a Title IX investigation that took place in 2017. Because this is pending litigation, we cannot comment on details surrounding the case, but we want to assure you that Drury acted with the utmost integrity in investigating this incident. We have a thorough process for investigating all Title IX allegations; one that ensures the protection of student rights and student welfare. We take that responsibility seriously and are consistent in following a process that exercises extreme diligence. While it is difficult to read about accusations leveled against Drury, we stand behind the people and the processes we undertook in this case. Student safety is, always has been, and will continue to be a priority."

The woman says she went to the Dean of Students to express her fear, but says she was told, according to the lawsuit, "Maybe if you go home this summer, you will get over it."

The girl came back for the Fall semester of 2017, and says she soon saw the man within feet of her at a school event, so she withdrew from school.

KY3/KSPR called the student's attorney for comment, but haven't heard back.
