LSU and 10 former students who sued the school over alleged mishandling of sexual assault and domestic violence complaints against football players and others at Louisiana’s flagship state university have settled the case.
“The Court has been advised that the parties in this matter have settled all of their claims and have agreed to amicably resolve this dispute,” US District Judge Wendy Vitter wrote in a March 28 order dismissing the case.
Settlement terms have not been disclosed.
Four of the the plaintiffs in the 2021 civil case accused former star running back Derrius Guice of sexual misconduct.
Another plaintiff, former LSU women’s tennis player Jade Lewis, said LSU failed to properly respond to reports that she was being beaten by former Tigers receiver Drake Davis while the two were in a relationship.
The lawsuit centered on federal Title IX laws which ban gender-based discrimination, harassment or violence.
