Stanford has cut ties with a lawyer who represented students in sexual assault complaints after she spoke out against the university’s internal process for handling such cases.

The lawyer, Crystal Riggins, is one of six the university has on retainer to provide legal guidance to students involved in complaints, under the provisions of Title IX, a federal law aimed at protecting women on campus. Riggins was the only lawyer who exclusively represented accusers.

In an email on Jan. 31, Lauren Schoenthaler, a Stanford administrator who oversees reviews of such complaints, notified Riggins that she was no longer a “Stanford-sponsored Title IX attorney,” effective the following day, because of comments she had made to The New York Times that the university deemed critical of its process. In the article, Riggins expressed frustration at Stanford’s requirement that a three-member panel reach a unanimous decision to find an accused student responsible for sexual assault.

“It is very difficult to get a 3-0 decision from a panel, and these young women are terrified and traumatized and just want it to be done,” Riggins told The Times in a Dec. 29 article examining Stanford’s Title IX troubles through a case brought against a member of its powerhouse football team.
