As they walked on Broadway St., the unknown male proceeded to push the victim against a car and sexually assaulted the victim. The subject is not known to the victim or law enforcement and is not in custody at this time. SUSPECT’S DESCRIPTION: College aged white male, medium build, average height, with short dark curly hair, and wearing dark clothing. *Descriptions provided by victim/witness. Information about the race or ethnicity of alleged offenders is provided only to aid detailed descriptions that include physical stature, clothing or unusual characteristics. Racial descriptions do not, by themselves, offer a meaningful picture of an individual's appearance. TAKE A STAND AGAINST CRIME 1. BE AWARE of your surroundings at all times and the people around you. 2. REPORT suspicious activity immediately. 3. Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe and are able to do so, get to a safe place and call for help. 4. Make sure you have clear, affirmative consent before engaging in sexual activity.

It is not your fault, and there are resources on campus and in the community to provide support and help you heal. Help is available at Tulane, whether a survivor wants to report an incident to the police, the university, a confidential resource, or just wants to talk to someone.

Message elements

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude (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

    Unanimous: the header identifies the Tulane University Police Department as issuer.

    Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Unanimous: the notice describes the victim being 'sexually assaulted,' naming the specific offense.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Unanimous: the 1200 or 1300 block of Broadway St is given as the location.

    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.

  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Unanimous: safety tips instruct recipients to be aware, report suspicious activity, and 'get to a safe place and call for help.'

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

    Final assessment

    Unanimous: the notice gives the date of occurrence, November 2, 2024.

    When the message applies. A timestamp, the word now or immediately, or a phrase like until further notice tells the reader whether the danger is current and how quickly to act.

  • Impactabsent3/25

    Final assessment

    Strong majority (22 of 24): the notice describes the assault itself but states no additional consequence or severity beyond the offense description; a small minority read the description of the assault as itself conveying harm.

    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.
