Summary
Tuesday, the University of Chicago said it identified a person of interest in a reported sexual assault at an Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house and barred that person from campus.
Chicago police said a 21-year-old woman reported the assault happened early Sunday during a party at the house; neither she nor the suspect were University of Chicago students.
One witness said she interrupted the attack, prompting the suspect to flee, while the university called the episode “deeply concerning” and police said no arrest details were available.
The case has put another elite campus on edge over Greek-life misconduct, following a reported gang rape at Cornell that renewed national scrutiny of sexual assault on campuses.
