I recently received an e-mail from Karen Hanson, provost and executive vice president, which included a link to the University’s new tobacco policy, effective Jan. 1, 2008: In an effort to provide a “healthier work and learning environment for our entire campus community,” the University has mandated that all campuses be smoke-free.

Woman reports rape at weekend party

·

A 21-year-old woman told Bloomington Police Department officers Monday that she was raped Sunday night at a party. The victim told officers that she was with friends when she went to a party with a couple of men, BPD Sgt. Jeff Canada said, reading from a police report. She told officers that she remembers taking her shoes off at the party, having a couple of drinks and then waking up at her friend’s house on the other side of town, Canada said. The victim said she realized she was raped after she found “unknown substances” on her body, Canada said. She went to the emergency room to get a rape kit test, Canada said. Officer Stephanie Barnes is still investigating the case.
