Two instances of sexual assault and one case of fondling in IU residence halls were reported to the Title IX office this week, according to IUPD Public Information Officer Hannah Skibba.  

The first report of sexual assault was filed Sept. 12 and the assault dates back to Feb. 9, 2024, in Read Hall.  

Two other reports were filed Sept. 16. One concerns a student who reported being sexually assaulted Oct. 26, 2023, in Foster Jenkinson Hall.  

The other regarded a student who reported being fondled sometime between Aug. 18-24, 2024, at Teter Quadrangle.  

None of the incidents were reported to IUPD by the individuals involved and each of the cases were referred to university officials for review, according to Skibba.
