J. Daniel partially grants Loyola University’s motion to dismiss a Title IX suit brought by a group of students who say the university mishandled and underreported their claims of sexual harassment on campus. The students’ complaint also accuses the university of failing to prevent sexual assault by repeat offenders and publishing false campus sexual assault statistics, and brings claims for fraud, premises liability, contract breach, negligence, emotional distress and violations of the Illinois Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act. The court dismisses all of these counts as well as a Jane Doe’s Title IX claims, citing, among other arguments, a lack of evidence and failure to state a claim. The remaining plaintiffs’ Title IX claims survive.

J. Daniel partially grants multiple Chicago school board employees’ motion to dismiss a Black parent’s civil rights suit. The parent claims her child was a victim of bullying at a Chicago public elementary school, and that school staff made the situation worse after he fought back against his bully by screaming at the boy and forcing him outside the school on a day when the temperature hovered near freezing. The court dismisses the school counselor as a defendant, and also dismisses the parent’s 14th Amendment and state law assault claims against the school principal and security officer. The rest of the suit stands.
