Kerr is one of the country's most well-known Title IX attorneys, and he represented Lisa Simpson, whose allegation that she was gang-raped at a party in 2001 plunged the University of Colorado and its football team into multiple investigations that ultimately led to the resignation of the school's president, chancellor and athletic director.
Their work, Clune said, will be wide-ranging "to evaluate the conduct of a number of individuals and entities in this matter and assess their civil and criminal liability."
