The University of California, Los Angeles is being reviewed by the Department of Education for how it handles allegations of sexual misconduct under Title IX, according to a UCLA statement.
UCLA says in a statement that it was informed that they were being added to a list of 76 universities under review.
"UCLA is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for our entire campus community," the university said in their statement. "We take every complaint of sexual misconduct seriously, and offer a comprehensive range of care options for survivors."
The school said in their statement that they will work with the Department of Education to review their practices.
The list already includes the University of Southern California and UC Berkeley, the L.A. Times reports.
