[QUOTE="baddnole, post: 4170284, member: 7094"] 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: [/QUOTE]
