Aug. 22, 2011

From The Seattle Times: Federal education officials have fined Washington State University in Pullman $82,500 for violations in 2007 of a campus-crime-reporting law, including not properly reporting two sexual assaults. The university says it will appeal the fine. In imposing the fine, the government acknowledged the university has improved its crime reporting since the incidents, but the report says those corrective measures do not diminish the seriousness of the violations.
