FSU just wrote a big check....

[gator-n-buck]

$950,000.00 to Winston's accusers. I don't ever remember a college settling on a case similar to this that involved a student athlete.

 

[Gravey]

That just set a precedent so expect accusations to increase. Why in the world would the university settle? They can't control any students actions.

On Monday evening, the NFL announced that Winston has been added to the roster for the 2016 Pro Bowl, taking the place of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has elected not to play in the game. Perhaps the leading candidate for the league's Offensive Rookie of the Year award, Winston is just the fourth quarterback in Buccaneer history to get an all-star nod, and the first since Jeff Garcia in 2007. The others were Brad Johnson in 2002 and Trent Dilfer in 1997.

Winston's addition to the roster gives the Buccaneers' five Pro Bowlers, the team's largest contingent since the Super Bowl season of 2002. Seven Bucs were chosen for that all-star game; the highest figure since then was four in both 2003 and 2008. :tu:

Facing a mounting $1.7-million legal bill, Florida State University decided to settle with Erica Kinsman, a former student who accused former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston of rape.

The $950,000 lump sum payment is the largest ever Title IX discrimination settlement to a single plaintiff claiming a university's "indifference" to a sexual assault, according to the Boulder, Colorado-based law firm representing Kinsman, Hutchison Black and Cook. FSU President John Thrasher signed the settlement on Monday. A filing in the Tallahassee-based United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida said the settlement must be final no later than Feb. 12.

As part of the settlement, Kinsman agreed to drop her title IX lawsuit against the school. The settlement states she will receive $250,000 and her attorneys will receive $700,000. It also comes with a 5-year commitment from FSU to implement "sexual assault awareness, prevention and training programs," her lawyers said. FSU also will produce reports each of the next five years "about its programs to deter and address campus sexual assault."

The big question is ,how will this affect the other Universities and the false claims of assault by cleat chasers. Will the university of florida now have to deal with the Treon Harris accuser who now sees an opportunity for money. Will the university of florida, being the number one college in the State for sexual assault, have to deal in the courts with more accusers to keep their Title Nine Federal funding. :tu:

 

[baddnole]

Thrasher FSU President, said the university agreed to the settlement to avoid millions of dollars in additional litigation expenses.

"Although we regret we will never be able to tell our full story in court, it is apparent that a trial many months from now would have left FSU fighting over the past rather than looking toward its very bright future," Thrasher said in his statement. "We have decided to instead move forward even though we have full faith that the ultimate outcome of a trial would have been consistent with the previous law enforcement investigations and retired Supreme Court Justice Major Harding's findings in the student conduct hearing."

The settlement will be paid out of the state of Florida's risk management fund, the university said. The university's legal fees will be paid with $421,000 from the fund and about $1.3 million generated by Seminole Boosters through licensing, concessions and gifts shop revenues. The settlement will not need legislative approval, said FSU spokeswoman Browning Brooks.

Gators will help pay this settlement.

1 in 5 University of Florida women have experienced sexual assault, according to survey .
A new survey finds that 20 percent of female students at the University of Florida say they've experienced sexual assault, but more than half did not consider it serious enough to report, The Gainesville Sun reports.

The survey on campus rape, conducted by the Association of American Universities, was taken by 150,000 students at 27 universities and colleges. The survey from UF also found that 92 percent of the time, the sexual offender was another student and about 70 percent of those surveyed said they were harassed by a friend or acquaintance, according to The Sun.

Overall, women and people who identified as transgender, genderqueer, non-conforming or questioning reported higher rates of assault. The rate of undergraduate men reporting sexual assault was low, with 5 percent reporting nationally. A UF spokesperson told the newspaper that the data would help the school's Title IX committee to "identify gaps in its procedure for reporting and reviewing incidents of sexual assault and harassment."

No spin here.I hate the fact FSU did not take this all the way.If you will read again you will learn something, maybe.Your hate for FSU and Winston has led you down a dark path. Lotta space being rented in your heads. :tu:

The University of florida should be on trial. Y'all cost the tax payers alot of money for your coverups.

"Florida State Settles Suit Over Jameis Winston Rape Inquiry"


Florida State University agreed on Monday to pay $950,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a former student who accused the former Seminoles football star Jameis Winston of raping her in 2012.


" based on police and university records, as well as interviews with people close to the case, including lawyers and sexual assault experts — found that Florida State and the Tallahassee police had done little to determine what happened in the Winston case."

Nothing to do with sports..... :tu:

 

[baddnole]

Word it any way you want. Spend the rest of the day looking for headlines to spin it your way. THE SUIT WAS A TITLE 9 SUIT AGAINST FSU. That is what was settled and FSU was NOT found guilty of TITLE 9. WAS NOT WINSTON BEING found guilty of rape or sexual assault THAT OCCURS at Gainesville. Google is your friend gnb.Look at your University.was not about sports,was about sexual assault campus wide. Just like at UF or Vanderbilt. UF is #1 in sexual assault. What does that have to do with sports.The drama club has sexual assault. SPIN<SPIN<SPIN :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :tu:

 

[mjac]

Nice rejoinder(s) Baddnole. I guess no one can read. The tittle says FSU wrote a big check. Why did they write a check? It is simply because the they didn't want to throw good money after bad. They chose to pay rather than fight to prove they were in compliance with Tittle 9 and that is to say did they handle the case as set forth under the rules in Tittle 9?

Did anyone notice that the attorneys for the accuser got $700,000.00 and the accuser $250,000.00? That tells me there was way more litigation than fact that the University actually did wrong.

He raped a girl. And your money went to the girl your idol raped. Hey at least he got away with it and made the pro bowl! :tu:
You won't respond to this post though because you don't care what I or the majority of the Americans (besides criminoles) think.

He raped a girl.

He did? Florida's legal system does not agree with you. Perhaps you can provide the authorities your proof.

Umm, lemme check.... Nope.

The whole world knows he did it.
That's a good argument you presented though. "Oh yeah, prove it". Kinda hard to do when fsu and Florida Leo totally botched any chances for any evidence to be presented. Like I said, he got away with it. Just like the Anthony chick.
The alleged victim should not have gotten any money, and neither should her lawyers if it was proven there was no wrong doings, correct?

First, the alleged rape did not occur on campus, therefore Tallahassee PD was the initial investigative authority, not the University. However it was not reported in a timely fashion and evidence, if there was any, was lost by the accuser. Second, the case, at the request of the States Attorney office, was eventually turned over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Ultimately the States Attorney decided there was no grounds to charge anyone and found no evidence of mishandling of evidence on the part of the Tallahassee PD. So, as you put it, he did get away with it only after being under a huge microscope. A microscope so large that many thought the world was looking at Winston. He was never charged and it remains that "Yeah, you prove he did".

The alleged victim should not have gotten any money, and neither should her lawyers if it was proven there was no wrong doings, correct?

Correct if you are referring to the rape allegation. No charges were filed so no settlement is due. However, if you are referring the suit brought by the accuser against the University, that is an entirely different and separate Tittle 9 matter. The University settled and I have no comment on that matter. Thats their call.
