A Reed spokesperson told the Oregonian that the complaint stemmed from an school-wide ritual on the first day of Humanities 110, which is required for all freshmen. According to the Oregonian:

Not only were the students naked, but Kroger noted in his email that many were also "yelling and gesticulating, and freshmen could not enter the building without encountering them."

The Associated Press reports that the Title IX complaint "alleged that making people once victims of sexual assault go through such a gauntlet violates federal law prohibiting discrimination based on sex in educational programs that get federal funding."
