The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating Florida State University in connection with the Jameis Winston rape case.
The federal agency opened the case for investigation Thursday in response to a complaint filed on March 6, according to a copy of the letter from the OCR obtained by The Huffington Post. The complaint was filed by Winston’s accuser and her attorneys.
