ISSUE: 78/26
Students at the College of St. Scholastica are on alert after school officials sent e-mails warning of a sexual assault on campus.
The e-mails were sent Monday and Tuesday to students at the northern Minnesota college. They say a student was attacked outside and before dawn on Sunday.
A spokesman says the student did not report the attack to police, but did notify a staff member. The student
was taken to a local hospital for tests and treatment.
Vice President Steve Lyons wouldn’t say if the alleged victim knew her attacker. He provided few details for fear of harming a future police investigation.
His e-mail says the campus has a security officer in response to the report and that the college is reviewing
its security tapes as part of its own investigation.
Lyons’ write police can’t begin their own criminal investigation until the student makes a formal report to them.
