The University of Iowa Department of Public Safety issued a crime alert Sunday evening informing UI students of two separate sexual assault reports.

The assaults occurred during the late-night hours of Oct. 28 or the early-morning hours Sunday while the victims were attending an off-campus party in Iowa City.

To protect the victims, the crime alert said the UI is not releasing further information “that may inadvertently identify them or hinder an investigation.”

The crime alert reminds students that the only person responsible for sexual misconduct is the perpetrator.

Additionally, engaging in sexual activities without clear consent from the partner is a violation of university policy, according to the crime alert, and a person who violates sexual misconduct policies “faces sanctions up to and including expulsion or termination.” A person under the influence of drugs or alcohol cannot consent to sexual activity.

Those who believe a crime has occurred are encouraged to call 911 and seek medical attention immediately.
