Lawyers Want Colo. U. Misconduct Records

DENVER (AP) -- Attorneys for two alleged rape victims asked a
federal judge on Monday to force the University of Colorado to hand
over information about alleged sexual misconduct by football
players.
The women filed lawsuits accusing the university of
tolerating an atmosphere that was hostile to women. Their attorneys
want reports, documents and any other information relating to
alleged sexual assault or abuse by athletes.
It was at least the second attempt by the attorneys to get
the information. The university has said the request is
"unreasonably burdensome."
The university also said some of the documents are
irrelevant to the lawsuits, have already been provided or are
protected by law.
The lawsuits say the women were raped by football players or
recruits during an off-campus party in December 2001.
Another women has filed a similar suit, and at least five
others have accused football players or recruits of rape since 1997.
The suits sparked a recruiting scandal now under three
investigations. Football coach Gary Barnett has been suspended with
pay for comments he made about at least one of the women.
