"Plaintiff's claim that Liberty owed her a duty to take administrative action either before or after a sexual assault fails because such a duty is not recognized in Virginia," wrote U.S. District Judge Norman K. Moon of the Western District of Virginia. "Second, Plaintiff argues that Liberty had a duty to Plaintiff via Oasis Defendants' actions, because The Oasis is a 'de facto' student dormitory ...

"I believe that there is going to be another wave of litigation," said attorney Laura L. Dunn. "I don't think that this current administration has thought through all the implications of having such specific regulations.
