Please be advised that detailed information below pertains to a report of a sexual assault that occurred on the MIT campus. ***The notification was made to the MIT Police through a third party in compliance with the Federal Clery Act. Notifications made to the MIT Police in this manner often do not contain names, suspect descriptions, and may not have specific dates and times.*** According to a report received by the MIT Police on October 15, 2019, a sexual assault occurred near Amherst Alley on Saturday night between the hours of 11:00 PM (10/12/19) and 12:50 AM (10/13/2019). The report states that an unidentified perpetrator left a party at 407 Memorial Drive with the Victim/Survivor and sexually assaulted her near the area of the MIT Tennis Courts at 410 Memorial drive. No suspect description was provided. Sexual Assault Reporting Resources The MIT Police have specially trained men and women officers who investigate sexual assaults. During all interviews, the MIT Police will make every effort to offer female survivors an opportunity to have a female officer present, and male officers for male survivors. In addition, the MIT Police will help a survivor, who wishes to do so, make contact with: - Local police - The district attorney's office for criminal prosecution and legal survivor assistance - Survivor assistance - Anonymous sexual assault reporting: https://police.mit.edu/anonymous-sexual-assault-form For emotional support, assistance in reporting, and/or to learn more about your available options, contact Violence Prevention & Response (VPR), MIT's primary, confidential, on-campus resource for issues pertaining to sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment and domestic/dating violence.

Risk reduction/Safety precautions: - Sexual assault is any sexual activity that occurs in the absence of consent. If you engage in sex, be sure you understand your partner's limits, and communicate your own limits. Do not engage in sexual activities without affirmative consent from your partner(s). - Rape and sexual assault are never the fault of the survivor. Responsibility lies with the perpetrator. No one deserves, asks for, or provokes sexual assault. - The most common type of sexual assault occurs between individuals known to one another. Sexual assault occurs in all communities and people of all genders can be survivors. - See Something Say Something to Someone: o If you do not feel comfortable intervening in any situation, notify someone who can (party host, GRT/A, Dean-on-Call, etc). o Program your cell phone with the MIT Police emergency number (617-253-1212). Call this number if you become uncomfortable in any situation. We are ready to respond to your calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Additional considerations for your safety: - If you feel threatened on campus, look for a Blue Light emergency telephone or dial 100 from any Institute telephone. - Utilize SafeRide or public transportation. - Be aware of your surroundings. - Trust your intuition - if a particular makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, choose an alternative. - Let your friends know when you are leaving and arriving at your destination at the end of the night. Sexual Assault Programs and Procedures MIT is committed to educating the campus community in ways to prevent sexual assault. Throughout the academic year and during orientation, the Office of the Dean for Student Life, the MIT Police, and certain student organizations deliver educational programs to parents, students, employees, and other members of the community. These sessions provide information on preventing sexual assault and rape, supporting friends who are survivors of sexual assault, security programs, residence hall and Institute-wide regulations and behavior standards, and an outline of the resources available to members of the MIT community.

Message elements

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude Opus 5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. Three landmarks fix the scene: "near Amherst Alley", the party "at 407 Memorial Drive", and "the MIT Tennis Courts at 410 Memorial drive".

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

    Final assessment

    Absent, 0 of 25. Every read finds resources and prevention text but no statement of potential harm, nor any word on the continuing danger from an unidentified perpetrator.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
