On Saturday, November 12, two male students reported to the Office of Public Safety that they had been harassed by three unknown male subjects inside the Emerson Hall residence hall.

According to the students, the incident began at 11:45 p.m. when they were outside of Emerson Hall and one of the subjects made a derogatory remark about the sexual orientation of one of the students. After a verbal exchange between the two parties, the students entered Emerson. The unknown subject, accompanied by two others, entered the building and engaged in a physical confrontation with the student victims. The three fled the scene when the victims threatened to contact the Office of Public Safety. Both victims received minor facial injuries that required no treatment at the scene.

The alleged perpetrators were described by the victims as follows:

Subject #1—White male, approximately 5’ 9” tall, with a stocky build and short dirty blonde hair, wearing a white shirt, black knee-length leather jacket, and blue jeans.

Subject #2—White male, 5’ 8” to 5’ 10” tall, with a stocky build and short blonde hair in a buzz-cut style, wearing thin rim glasses and a black leather jacket, white t-shirt, and jeans.

Subject #3—White male, 5’ 8” to 5’ 10” tall, with a stocky build and possibly blonde medium-length hair, wearing a black leather jacket, t-shirt, and jeans.
