dismiss the lawsuit have been denied in court, and previously, a spokesperson told NBC 5 Investigates the university doesn't comment on pending litigation. The lawsuit is still going on four years after it was initially filed. The young women are seeking their tutition fees refunded, among other damages. A trial date is set for September 2027.

Ashley Pileika, an attorney from the Law Office of Darren Wolf, is representing the young women.

 Their parents sent them to Loyola based on Loyola's promises, policies, procedures that they would be kept safe on their campus, that they will be able to obtain an education. That's what they paid for and they did not receive that,  Pileika said.

The lawsuit alleges Loyola systemically mishandled and underreported student complaints of sexual misconduct dating back to 2011.

 I would really urge donors, alumni, before writing another check to ask them, 'What are you doing to keep students safe on your campus?'  Pileika said.

Court documents allege when Jane Doe G learned she'd be in class with her assailant the next semester, Loyola officials said they couldn't  force  him out of the class, and instead, she herself should contact the assailant and ask him to pick a different class.

 They were very adamant about ... 'You're saying that this happened to you, but he is also a student, so we have to make sure that we are also protecting him,'  Jane Doe G said.

A first-generation college student, she chose Loyola for its Jesuit values and focus on social justice. But her alleged assault altered her future plans, and the university's response destroyed her trust.

 I felt that that experience (with the Title IX office) was equally traumatizing, if not more, than the assault itself,  Jane Doe G said.
