Dolores Lozano, a Houston woman, spoke to ABC13 about a case she won against Baylor University in which she accuses her boyfriend of assault.For the first time since winning her lawsuit against Baylor University, a Houston woman is talking publicly about her case against the revered private institution in Waco.
During her senior year, just a few classes from graduating, she alleged her boyfriend, a Baylor football player, assaulted her twice. Congress passed Title 9 in 1972. It states, "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
The only lawsuit against the university from that era to make it to trial was Dolores'. A jury awarded her $270,000 for negligence and found Baylor guilty of a Title 9 offense, though they did not award any damages.
