UA student alleges Title IX violations
On Jan. 30, a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) graduate student filed a lawsuit against the University of Alaska (UA), alleging that the university mishandled her complaint against a UAF geophysics professor who served as her faculty advisor. Fairbanks Daily News-Miner originally reported on the lawsuit, which references a 2017 investigation by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigation into UA Title IX procedures.
