The University of Chicago said Thursday it has received seven reports of students having their drinks drugged since September, and one report of a sexual assault, CBS Chicago reports.
Dean of Students Michele Rasmussen and Vice President for Safety and Security Eric Heath issued a safety and security notice about the predatory pattern Thursday.
In one case reported Tuesday to a campus security authority, an undergraduate student at the university reported being sexually assaulted in a residence hall room after a party on Oct. 28. The student suspected their drink had also been drugged, the notice said. The University of Chicago Police said they are looking into the complaints and told CBS Chicago that so far, none of the students have filed police reports. But university officials felt the need to alert the Hyde Park campus.
Campus police are urging anyone who thinks they have been drugged to contact them. To make a police report, the university reminded the campus community they can call Chicago Police at 911, or University of Chicago Police at 123 from a campus phone or 702-8181 from an off-campus phone.
