TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – University of Toledo officials are reviewing how it handles investigations of sex crime allegations following a reported rape at the school.

The (Toledo) Blade reported the head of the university’s board of trustees called for the review.

This comes after a male student who was accused of rape was placed on academic probation, ordered to undergo counseling and fined $25 by the school’s Student Conduct Board.

The female victim appealed the decision and was told the student would be suspended for a year. The male student then appealed and the original punishment was reinstated.

The woman chose not to pursue criminal charges but said she is filing a federal complaint against the university. She no longer attends the University of Toledo.
