A judge has ordered Baylor University to turn over documents from the investigation that found widespread mishandling of sexual assault cases, some involving football players.
The materials have to be provided to attorney Jim Dunnam, a former state representative who's representing several women who say they were raped while at the college, according to court documents.
Baylor argued that the documents were subject to attorney-client confidentiality because the firm conducting the investigation, Pepper Hamilton, was doing legal work for it.
Baylor has released pieces from the report, which the judge ruled meant the school had waived its attorney-client privilege.
Pepper Hamilton, a Philadelphia-based law firm, found "institutional failure at every level" at the world's largest Baptist university, including employees who did not report cases they knew about or discouraged victims from moving forward with complaints.
Amidst the controversy Baylor fired football coach Art Briles, ousted university president Ken Starr and accepted the resignation of athletic director Ian McCaw.
It's believed that since 2011 there were at least 125 cases of sexual assault or harassment at Baylor. That estimate could be lower than the actual figure, though.
Patty Crawford told 60 Minutes Sports that in her time as Title IX coordinator from 2014 to 2016 "hundreds" of women reported rape, stalking, harassment or assault.
After regents were presented with Pepper Hamilton's findings last summer, they were "stunned" and "deeply saddened," according to court documents.
