Sexual assault reported on campus

An alleged sexual assault on campus was reported to the University Police Department Monday night, said University Police Chief Adam Due.

“The incident may have taken place in a residence hall on campus,” Due said. He added the incident was reported to have taken place Saturday night or Sunday morning.

No charges have been filed in connection to the alleged sexual assault, Due said. An incident report will not be released at this time because the matter is under investigation, he added. Due said a crime alert e-mail was not sent out to the student body because of the nature and circumstances of the incident.
