COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M University officials said Monday that they are imposing clearer and tougher sanctions for students found responsible for sexual assault and misconduct after multiple women came forward this summer to criticize how their cases were handled. Texas A&M officials also said the dean of students, and not athletic coaches or club leaders, will decide interim restrictions placed on accused students. “If ‘X’ happens to you, you can expect ‘Y’ in return,” said Daniel Pugh, Texas A&M’s vice-president for student affairs. The Associated Press typically does not name victims of sexual assault, but Shaw has come forward publicly to several news outlets. “Our hope is that other universities see Texas A&M University as a leader and this ignites internal reviews at universities across the country,” she said.
