Borough, University respond to report of assault

The State College Police Department, with assistance from Penn State Student Affairs, is continuing in its investigation of an alleged assault.

Authorities have been in contact with the alleged victim, and it is our sincere hope that he is recovering well. Violence in any form is repulsive and hurtful, and those responsible should and will be held accountable for their actions. We thank the concerned individuals who made us aware of the incident on social media on Sunday; they are representative of the care and compassion we see at Penn State every day.

We all must continue to work together to maintain a safe, welcoming and respectful environment for all Penn Staters as well as anyone visiting our campus and community.
