March 9, 2023
Miami University police have responded to reports of sexual assault, stalking and several cases of hazing so far in March.
A sex offense at Withrow Hall reported to have taken place in August 2022 was marked “unfounded” by the department. Another sex offense at Dennison Hall reported to have taken place on March 4 is still considered open.
A stalking incident reported to have taken place over a six-week period from September to October 2022 was also considered to be unfounded. Two further stalking incidents reported March 6 remain open.
Four cases of hazing have been reported in the first week of March. Only one of the incidents was linked with a specific organization. The property of Pi Kappa Alpha was the site of a month-long hazing incident reported March 5. That case and two others remain open, with only one considered closed by MUPD.
