Student Athlete’s Claim Against Saint Louis University Falls Short

A federal judge from the Eastern District of Missouri has sided with Saint Louis University (SLU) in a case where the school was sued by a former student athlete, who alleged that the school was negligent as well as violated Title IX and the terms of a contract it had with her. Joan Roe alleged that the claims all stem from alleged mistreatment related to a purported back injury and an alleged rape.   In so ruling, the court found the plaintiff’s argument lacked substance, or was off-base
