Barz is the former Montana supreme court justice that investigated the sexual assaults at UM a couple years ago.
In 2011, she investigated allegations that two students had been drugged and raped by other students in late 2011.
She uncovered nine reported sexual assaults between September 2010 and December 2011, and one case led to a conviction. Barz determined the university had “a problem of sexual assault on and off campus” that needed to be corrected. She said she was disappointed that some students with knowledge of sexual assaults lied to her.
She attended 46 straight Cat-Griz football games with her husband, Dan, who graduated from Montana State.
