NEW: Brown University Investigated by Feds in Sexual Assault Case

Brown University was notified Friday that the school is under federal investigation for a Title IX complaint from a sexual assault case in 2013.  The University is cooperating with the investigation.

GoLocalProv reported that Brown student Lena Sclove levied a series of attacks against Brown University administrators for their handling of the discipline of her rape case.  GoLocal's coverage continued in April of this year when Brown President Christina Paxson weighed in on the case.  The accused student told his side of the story to the Daily Beast in June.
