johns hopkins university has joined the list of schools under federal scrutiny for the way they handled sex assault complaints. the university president has sent out an e-mail that was last tuesday alerting students and faculty the department of education has opened an investigation into complaint filed earlier this year. that complaint was about the way hopkins responds to these sex assaults. you've been studying this case. what do we know about it? >> the issue is the president sends eat mail out but he was not -- the school was not proactive. you had several young ladies that filed complaints saying that there was an alleged gang rape on one of the fraternity house in the spring during a party of 2013 and that the university did not notify students that this had happened. that's a clear violation under title 9 of the act that says universities have to let students know if there's been any crime on campus. e-mail trail has shown that the university was talking about we may be violating parts of title 9. it was very important here, i think the underbelly of this story is that johns hop
