The move comes amid ongoing scrutiny over how the university handled the cases, with authorities now stepping in to review the matter independently. The decision signals a shift toward a more formal legal examination of the claims, potentially reshaping accountability for those involved. Details on the scope of the investigation and any prior university actions remain under review.
