      "verbatimText": "Note: You are receiving this message because federal law requires institutions of higher education to alert the campus community when certain crimes occur on or near certain campus property that presents a serious or ongoing threat. The intent is to provide information so individuals can take appropriate measures to best protect themselves. Notifications are based on when the university receives the report. More information is available here.\n\nTrigger Warning: This alert discusses sensitive information pertaining to sexual misconduct. Information about resources is available here.\n\nOn Wednesday, January 26, the Office of Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action (OEO) was notified of a reported sexual assault that occurred at the Kappa Sigma Fraternity House at approximately 1 a.m. on September 22, 2021.\n\nA student reported attending a “Wine Wednesday” party at the fraternity house with friends. Wine was provided by the chapter. The victim reported being sexually assaulted while in the dance floor room. The victim ultimately left the house with friends. The individuals were reportedly unknown to each other before the party.\n\nIn response to this report, the university contacted the Salt Lake City Police Department to notify them of the incident. While the fraternity house falls within the university’s federally required geographic reporting area, the location is off-campus and within the Salt Lake City Police Department’s jurisdiction. If you know anything about this incident, please call the Salt Lake City Police at 801-799-3000, to provide information for any future investigation.\n\nUniversity leaders also visited the named fraternity house on Wednesday to confirm that no “Wine Wednesday” event occurred tonight.\n\nIf you have been harmed by sexual assault, please reach out to the university’s victim-survivor advocates (VSAs). To make an appointment: call 801-581-7776, or email advocate@sa.utah.edu.\n\nThis safety warning is being issued as part of the University of Utah’s efforts to provide timely notifications about serious or ongoing threats to the campus community. While it may be distressing to learn about this incident, it is being shared so you can best protect yourself. Responsibility for a crime lies with the person committing it; however, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk of experiencing crime. Note: timely notifications are based on when the university receives the report. Please remember:",
