Newberg-Dundee Police informed George Fox University last week that they have closed as unfounded the case of a reported on-campus sexual assault on April 13, 2010, and are considering criminal charges against the former George Fox student for filing a false police report.
The police statement and other resources are available at georgefox.edu/incident.
The university strives to provide a safe and supportive environment for all of our students and is committed to responding quickly and appropriately to any report of sexual assault or threatening behavior. We encourage students to review the sexual assault policy in the Student Handbook under Community Policies, which outlines reporting guidelines as well as available resources for victims of sexual assault.
If you have questions, please contact the Student Life Office at 503-554-2316.
