LINCOLN PARK — A student was sexually assaulted in a DePaul University dorm early Thursday, police said.
The university said the attack occurred between 1:45 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. at Munroe Hall, 2312 N. Clifton St.
According to the university, the incident was reported first to the Chicago Police Department, which then reported it to DePaul's Office of Public Safety. Chicago police are investigating.
An 18-year-old woman said she was assaulted by a "known male," also 18, after attending a party, police said. The woman then went to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where she was reported to be "in good condition."
Police said that no one is in custody.
"Because this is an open police investigation we have no additional information to provide," said university spokeswoman Carol Hughes.
"DePaul University takes reports of sexual assault seriously and is committed to offering a secure and supportive environment for individuals who report incidents of sexual and relationship violence," she added.
Opened in 1970, Munroe was the university's first residence hall and was renovated in 2000. On its university webpage it says the dorm has "a 24-hour staffed security desk, and key card-swipe entry is required."
