    Dad sues, says college didn't keep his daughter safe

    BRIDGEPORT (AP) — A Connecticut father has sued his daughter's former college, saying the school failed to keep her safe.

    The Connecticut Post reports that Paul Lisi, of Monroe, said in the suit that his daughter was assaulted twice while attending Albertus Magnus College in New Haven.

    He alleged she was repeatedly bullied during her freshman year, but nothing was done. He also said a male student pushed his daughter into a dresser in her dorm room.

    The lawsuit said the woman lost confidence in the administration's ability to make her feel safe. She has since withdrawn from the school.

    Lisi said in the suit he was refunded a fraction of room and board charges, but is seeking another $11,000.

    College spokeswoman Andrea Kovacs said she could not comment on student conduct matters.
