KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart wants the school to play a leading role in addressing sexual assault after the recent settlement of a Title IX lawsuit filed against the university.The school agreed last month to pay $2.48 million to settle a lawsuit filed in February by eight unidentified women who said the university created a hostile sexual environment through a policy of indifference toward assault complaints against athletes.As part of the settlement, Tennessee is announcing a series of initiatives to improve its Title IX efforts and is appointing an independent commission to review the schools existing programs and make recommendations regarding sexual assault and misconduct.It only enhanced and increased our collective desire to be a national leader in that regard, Hart said while discussing the schools educational and training efforts in an interview with The Associated Press.Hart added that its a national issue and weve taken a collective posture that we think we can make a difference.Under the terms of the settlement, Tennessee agreed to change its rules regarding student disciplinary hearings and use its best efforts to enforce mandatory sexual assault training for school employees reasonably likely to be among the first to learn about potential cases.The school also is adding seven employees to the two offices that deal with sexual assault investigations and support for victims of sexual misconduct and stalking. That includes two wellness coordinators who will work with athletes on sexual assault awareness and other issues such as drugs, alcohol and stress management.The lawsuit was part of a turbulent year for Tennessee that also included the death of former womens basketball coach Pat Summitt and the announcement that chancellor Jimmy Cheek is stepping down to return to a teaching role. Those changes overshadowed the athletic departments improvements in fundraising and academic performance.It was an emotional year, Hart said. I love this university dearly. It was a tough year for everybody.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Mike Quick Youth Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.
