The U.S. Office for Civil Rights is closing a Title IX investigation at Liberty University, saying it lacks jurisdiction over an off-campus sex assault allegation against a university employee.<\/p>\n
In a June 15 letter to university President Jerry Falwell Jr. obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, the office said it\u2019s closing the investigation. The office says the accused\u2019s employment alone doesn\u2019t confer jurisdiction, since the complainant wasn\u2019t affiliated with the school and the alleged assault didn\u2019t occur in connection with any university activity.<\/p>\n
