LSU closed nearly 300 reported sexual assaults without discipline in one year

Nearly 300 sexual assaults that were reported to Louisiana State University between October 2021 and September 2022 were closed without disciplinary action, according to the university's latest reports reviewed by Fox News Digital.

The university's handling of sexual assault accusations is under a microscope after sophomore Madison Brooks was fatally hit by a car after an alleged rape on Jan. 15, less than two years after a bombshell report by USA Today about LSU's mishandling of sexual assault cases.

The newspaper's report, titled "LSU mishandled sexual misconduct complaints against students, including top athletes," was published in November 2020 and forced internal changes, including a voluminous report in 2021.

There were 182 sexual assaults reported to LSU between Oct. 1, 2021, and March 3, 2022, and 126 reported sexual assaults between April 1, 2022, and Sept. 30, 2022, according to the reports.
