She might be shooting herself in the foot by publicly commenting on a Title IX investigation.
Oh yeah? How so?
I'm not saying schools can put a "gag order" on victims. They can't. Nor should they. However, it's not in her best interests to comment publicly at this stage. The school legally cannot comment publicly, so if she does speak publicly, and if she is not careful/truthful with her allegations, then she runs the risk of damaging her credibility in the pending proceedings. If she is being entirely truthful, then there is no problem. But even if she thinks she is telling the truth but accidentally misspeaks, it might damage her credibility. In short, there is nothing to gain and something to lose.
It's just like any other legal proceeding: You stand far more to lose than to gain by commenting publicly while the case is pending. To be sure, I'm not making a claim about the merits of this case. How could I? I don't know the facts. I'm merely saying that, at least until there is a final decision, the best advice she could be given is to not speak to media regarding an ongoing investigation.
I hope the preceding is not interpreted as an attempt to protect the University. If the University of guilty of something, they should be liable, and I hope all the bad things in the world happen to them and no one else but them. I feel no reason to blindly protect the University of Kansas. Justice usually prevails, but if it doesn't, then it's time to speak out. I wouldn't want a potentially meritous claim to get submarined by careless talk. That's all I'm saying.
