UM notifies students of on-campus sexual assault report

MISSOULA (AP) — The University of Montana has notified students of a reported sexual assault that occurred in a residence hall involving someone the victim knew.

Students were notified Tuesday night via email and text.

UM spokeswoman Paula Short said the university is working with local police as the case is investigated.

Federal law requires campus officials to notify students of significant emergency or dangerous situations. Short said that university officials decided to notify students about the reported assault to “raise their situational awareness” about their safety on campus.
