Can the Cornell lawsuit force changes that make students safer?

Universities have a duty to support students who report sexual assault, even if legal charges aren’t pursued. Attorney Baine Kerr explains that these institutions must provide protections and resources to ensure the safety and well-being of the affected students. This responsibility is crucial because it helps create a safer campus environment and supports survivors in their recovery process. Understanding these protections is important for students, as it empowers them to seek help and hold universities accountable for their safety. QUESTION: How might understanding these protections change the way students approach reporting incidents of sexual assault on campus?
