Title IX questions linger amid UM law school fallout

In late September, the Daily Montanan reported that a cohort of students in UM's Alexander Blewitt III School of Law said the school's deans had discouraged them from reporting sexual misconduct to the Title IX office on campus. Following the report and backlash from students who walked out of the school in protest, Associate Dean Sally Weaver and Dean Paul Kirgis resigned from their positions.

But the resignations raise questions about the present and future of Title IX investigations at the University and whether or not a resignation spells the end of an investigation. 

This week, Kaimin news reporter Emily Tschetter joins Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy to catch us up on the turmoil within the law school and where the story might go from here.
