Students may speak anonymously with Office of Civil Rights on sexual assault

Makayla Tendall

Students can speak to the The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights anonymously Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Office of Civil Rights will conduct a site visit, which comes after announcing earlier this year that Iowa State is under investigation after a complaint about the university’s handling of a sexual assault allegation made by an ISU student against another student.

The assault in complaint occurred last spring, and the university has been under investigation since October.

In order to set an appointment, students and other members of the ISU community should get an appointment card from the Great Hall Desk at the Memorial Union across from the Post Office. Cards are available beginning at 8 a.m. Monday.

Appointments are available from 1 to 5 p.m. April 21 and 1 to 4 p.m. April 22.

Only one Appointment Card will be available to each person. If an appointment is available at the time someone is receiving an appointment card, you can visit with the Office of Civil Rights immediately.

Sharon Zenor will no longer be setting up meetings.

The Office of Civil Rights will interview administrators and Iowa State employees who helped conduct the investigation of the sexual assault on April 20 to 22.
