Northwestern University has implemented a temporary ban on fraternity social events following drugging and sexual assault claims, but some say it doesn’t go far enough. NBC 5’s Chris Coffey reports.
Multiple people have reported they were drugged without consent while attending gatherings at off-campus locations in Evanston, Northwestern University officials said Friday.
At least one of the reports was associated with a gathering believed to have been organized by Northwestern students, the university stated in a crime notice to the campus community.
Separate incidents were reported at 5854 Lincoln Street and 2325 Sheridan Road.
Following the allegations, Northwestern announced there will be no social events or chapter-sponsored recruitment activities at fraternities in the Interfraternity Council until at least Oct. 17.
