In the interest of campus safety, we want everyone to be aware that University of Iowa officials received a report of sexual assault that occurred in the early morning hours of Friday, October 10, 2025, in a west side residence hall. The assault was reported to be perpetrated by an acquaintance.

As the semester continues, it’s easy to get caught up in busy schedules, conversations with friends, or scrolling on your phone while walking across campus. But staying aware of your surroundings is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep yourself safe.
