Northwestern University has hired former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to review the school’s abuse reporting mechanisms in the wake of an expanding football team hazing scandal that has resulted in half a dozen lawsuits against the Evanston school.
Lynch will make her findings public after examining the university’s accountability mechanisms “to detect, report and respond to potential misconduct in its athletics programs, including hazing, bullying and discrimination of any kind,” the university announced Tuesday.
