AUSTIN, TEXAS -- A federal judge ruled Wednesday that attorneys for a woman suing Baylor University can start interviewing sources and requesting documents pertaining to the schools mishandling of sexual assault complaints, including records relating to the schools own review of its Title IX compliance.Former Baylor student Jasmin Hernandez filed the federal Title IX lawsuit in March, claiming that Baylor did not adequately respond to her report of being sexually assaulted by former Bears football player Tevin Elliott, who was later convicted in a criminal trial of raping Hernandez. The suit alleges that Baylor should have known Elliott was a threat due to prior instances of alleged assault.Attorney Alexander Zalkin said the documents hell request likely would include materials related to the report done by law firm Pepper Hamilton, whom the school hired last year to review its response to sexual assaults.They have covered up information for so long. What [Baylor] essentially did was ask the court to allow them to continue to cover up this information, and the court said no, Zalkin said. And now, hopefully well get to learn what they knew and what they did, not just for Jasmins sexual assault but for sexual assaults on campus in general.In May, Pepper Hamilton issued a summary of its findings that stated that the university failed to follow Title IX procedures and noted that within the football program specifically there was a failure to identify and respond to a pattern of sexual violence by a football player, to take action in response to reports of a sexual assault by multiple football players and to take action in response to a report of dating violence.The judge also dismissed former Baylor football coach Art Briles and athletic director Ian McCaw from being sued in their official capacity as Baylor employees; Briles attorneys argued that the men could not be sued as individuals under the federal gender discrimination law. Zalkin said he will refile to name them personally as defendants within the same federal case but under state negligence laws instead.Lawyers for Briles and Baylor did not immediately respond to requests for comment.In July, a former Baylor athletic department employee who was fired in connection with the release of the Pepper Hamilton findings filed a motion in state court to allow his attorney to interview regents and request documents, including the Pepper Hamilton materials, to determine whether he had grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit. Thomas Hill, former assistant athletic director for community relations and special projects, withdrew his motion earlier this month.Baylors motion to dismiss Hernandezs Title IX case is still pending a judges ruling.

A CARICOM cricket review panel had made the recommendation to dissolve the WICB in November 2015, in a report that termed the boards governance structure as antiquated, obsolete and anachronistic.We will do everything possible to effect the decision, Grenada prime minister Keith Mitchell told the Jamaica Gleaner at the end of the CARICOM Heads of Government conference, which concluded on July 6 in Guyana. Were looking at legal options on the basis that cricket is a public good run by a private institution.The regional body also discounted the remarks of Gaston Browne, the Antigua and Barbuda prime minister, who had categorically rejected the idea of dissolving the WICB.Mitchell, who is the outgoing head of the CARICOM sub-committee on cricket that had backed the panels findings last year, said the opposition to WICBs current governance structure was not his alone, but a collective one and, hence, Brownes opposition did not carry much weightage.[It is a] common position of the Heads, not individual positions, and we cannot operate on the basis of individual positions, its about the Heads, Mitchell was quoted as having said by CMC. When I expressed my sentiments on cricket, it was about what the Heads said - the committee that we established jointly with the West Indies Cricket Board - and we agreed between the subcommittee and the West Indies Cricket Board to implement the recommendations.So it was not a Keith Mitchell decision, it was not a Keith Mitchell activity, it was a committee set up by the West Indies Cricket Board and the Headds of Government.ddddddddddddThe CARICOM cricket review panel was appointed by the Prime Ministerial Committee on the Governance of West Indies Cricket in the wake of the crisis that engulfed the board after the BCCI suspended bilateral ties and slapped $41.97 million as damages following West Indies decision to pull out midway through their India tour in 2014. Set up to review the governance and administrative structure of the WICB, the five-member panel, comprising V. Eudine Barriteau, Sir Dennis Byron, Dwain Gill, Deryck Murray and Warren Smith submitted a damning report.Apart from its comments on the current set-up, the panel strongly recommended the establishment of an interim board in place of the WICB. However, Dave Cameron, the WICB president, rejected the panels findings, saying they were not supported by facts.The WICB received further support from Browne, who broke ranks with CARICOM. Browne continued to remain defiant even this week. That (recommendation to dissolve) is a recipe for chaos and confusion and we are totally opposed to any forced dissolution of the West Indies Cricket Board, Browne told the Gleaner.Regardless, the CARICOM heads have refused to give up their stance on WICB. According to Roosevelt Skerrit, the Dominica prime minister and chairman of CARICOM, an additional sub-committee on cricket with a much wider scope will be appointed soon. There were two before; one on governance issues and one of the larger issues confronting cricket…this is a new committee on cricket mandated to examine all matters relating to the development of cricket, which is a very wide area of concentration.
