The University of Iowa police issued a crime alert on Monday night regarding two sexual-assault reports over the weekend that occurred on campus.

According to the alert, the first sexual assault reported occurred on March 19 in an East Side residence hall and was perpetrated by an acquaintance. The police also received a report of an incident on March 20 in an East Side residence hall, which was perpetrated by an acquaintance.
These are the 11th and 12th reported sexual misconducts of the 2015-16 school year under the federal Clery crime disclosure act.
