Notre Dame Security Police (NDSP) is investigating a report of sexual assault committed by an acquaintance in a South Quad men's residence hall late last Friday, an email sent to students said.
The email stated the report was made to a University administrator and warned students of the risk of sexual assault.
"Anyone initiating any kind of sexual contact with another person must seek consent and not engage in sexual contact unless consent is given," the email stated. "As the University's sexual assault policy makes clear: 'Sexual misconduct of any kind is inconsistent with the University's values and incompatible with the safe, healthy environment that the Notre Dame community expects. ... The perpetrator, not the survivor, is responsible for any instance of sexual assault." Information about sexual assault prevention and resources for survivors of sexual assault is available online from both NDSP and the Committee for Sexual Assault Prevention.
