Report Faults Wheaton on Sexual Assaults

Wheaton College in Norton failed to respond to a report of student-on-student rape, did little to prevent an alleged rapist from continuing to contact the victim, and neglected to prevent retaliation against a different victim, according to a recent report by the Department of Justice. The findings are detailed in a 19-page letter sent to the small liberal arts school in July by federal attorneys who spent a year investigating the college. The investigation found five areas where Wheaton fell short of its legal obligations, and the school on Wednesday signed an agreement with the Justice Department to reform its practices.
