Both alleged incidents involved student athletes and neither was reported to police immediately after the details were given to campus safety officials.
A statement by Milwaukee County District （Attorney） John Chisholm says campus safety officials had an obligation under state law to report the incidents to police because they are not a police force but failed to do so.
The Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing, （Division） of Enforcement, reviewed the matter and decided not to take any action against the college. Marquette has since put new rules into place that require all safety officials to report such accusations directly to police.
The statement by District Attorney John Chisholm （scolds) the college for not giving the Milwaukee Police Department a chance to immediately investigate all angles of the alleged crimes, saying "The process of reporting is a crucial period of time for victims to learn about available options and services and to hopefully make informed decisions about what to do in the wake of an assault."
"The more that the partners in (public safety), working with the community, perform their duties professionally and collaboratively, the better our opportunity for immediate, thorough, and ultimately fruitful investigations that will hold more offenders accountable and make victims feel safer and more comfortable about reporting sexual abuse."
