Title:Standing Up to Yale University’s Silencing of Women, and Title IX Civil Rights Non-Compliance Contributed to Two Preventable Campus Murders
We started at Yale University with high hopes, Suzanne Jovin as an undergraduate in 1995, me in the Vice President’s office in 1999, and Annie Le in a bio-med PhD program in 2007. We alerted the university to our concerns. Suzanne complained about an alleged assailant; Annie complained about her lab tech who could sabotage her research subjects. Suzanne went to a female dean, crying, contemplating filing a formal complaint. Annie complained about her lab tech. Suzanne and Annie lost their lives as they remained in harm’s way. Yale, with its broken system for reporting sexual misconduct did nothing to respond to Suzanne and Annie when they reported the harassing behavior. Both women were murdered shortly after their complaints. While supporting students reporting sexual misconduct, I caught Yale falsifying crime statistics, and then the Vice President’s office turned its powerful wrath on me, stopping my efforts to help students stay safe – but I am the lucky one, here to tell this story.
The story includes witnessing Yale’s Title IX and Clery Act illegal practices that impacted students’ civil rights in the aftermath of sexual assault. After trying to escape the retaliation and being rejected from 110 campus jobs, and suffering workplace violence, I became an informant for the federal government in its investigation of Yale. Ultimately, I was marched off campus like a criminal. Later, I filed the first non-sports-related Jackson v Birmingham Title IX retaliation complaint, Burhans v Yale, and prevailed.
Susan Daria Landino attended Manhattanville College, Oxford University and received an M.A. from the University of Connecticut. She worked in news broadcasting, the film industry in California, and began working in the Vice President’s office at Yale University in 1999.
Landino developed a new legal remedy after assisting dozens of scholars with individual Title IX complaints. She has employed the False Claims Act to empower plaintiffs as a group to file complaints against universities that allow systemic Title IX non-compliance while receiving federal funds. The legal complaint alleges that Yale University deliberately disregarded Title IX while receiving billions in federal funds.
