Tulane University Police Department Uptown District SEXUAL ASSAULT, STALKING, BURGLARY Date and Time of Occurrence: late evening April 1st or early morning April 2nd LOCATION: Non-campus university recognized property in the 900 block of Broadway Street REPORTED OFFENSE: Sexual Assault, Stalking, Burglary SUSPECT’S DESCRIPTION: White male, brown hair, 6’ 0” Reported Incident: On April 4th, the Tulane University Police Department learned of the following report of sexual assault occurring within the university’s geography as defined by The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or “Clery Act.” The victim reported that on late Friday evening or early Saturday morning, an individual with the above description followed them between multiple off-campus locations. The preparator followed the victim back to a non-campus university recognized property where they sexually assaulted the victim. The subject is unknown to the victim and has not been identified at this time. Based on the information provided by the victim or witness, the following crimes have been identified as reportable under the definitions provided by the Clery Act: Sexual Assault, Stalking, Burglary. The Clery Act requires Tulane University to provide safety tips when issuing Crime Alerts. The following are suggestions relative to the criminal incident described in this alert: • Trust your instincts. If you feel that you may be in danger, seek out others, local law enforcement, or an open Tulane facility that has Campus Safety Officers posted. • Be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone. • Avoid individuals who don’t respect you, ignore personal boundaries, make you feel guilty, or are aggressive. • Let a trusted friend or contact know when you are meeting a new person and if that person begins making you uncomfortable. • Try not to walk alone during late-night hours. Walk in groups, whenever you can, there is always safety in numbers. If you have experienced sexual misconduct or think you may have experienced it, help is available. 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. A Note on Reporting: Reporting sexual assault is a very sensitive and nuanced matter. Delayed reporting of sexual assault is very common. Tulane University encourages any victim of sexual assault or other crime to report, regardless of the time passed since the date of incident. We at Tulane recognize that deciding to report sexual misconduct and choosing how to proceed are difficult decisions. We recognize that your feelings about whether to report an incident and how to proceed may change over time. We support all survivors of sexual misconduct during this decision-making process. Confidential Except in extreme circumstances, involving imminent danger to oneself or others, nothing shared with these resources will be shared without your explicit permission. the Counseling Center | (504) 314-2277 The Line (24/7) | (504) 264-6074 SAPHE peer hotline (24/7)| (504) 654-9543 Private Conversations with these resources are kept as confidential as possible, but information is shared with key staff members so the University can offer resources and accommodations and take action if necessary for safety reasons.

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

    TUPD Crime Alert is the source.

    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

    Named crime is the hazard.

    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

    Street or campus area is given.

    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

    Contact TUPD or NOPD; safety tips.

    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.

  • Timeabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    No usable clock time.

    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.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    No injury counts stated.

    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.
