Associate Dean Nicole Eramo, who counseled rape victims, was reassigned to other duties and received anonymous threats.  She then sued ''Rolling Stone'' and the author of the article for libel.  On November 7, 2016, a jury in federal district court awarded Eramo a $3 million verdict.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/jury-to-deliberate-damages-to-u-va-dean-in-rolling-stone-defamation-lawsuit/2016/11/07/e2aa2eb0-a506-11e6-ba59-a7d93165c6d4_story.html|title=Jury awards $3 million in damages to U-Va. dean for Rolling Stone defamation|work=Washington Post|first=T.
