In the meantime, UT police on Facebook issued the following guidance for students: "If you engage in sexual activity, be sure you understand your partner’s limits, and communicate your own limits clearly. Only engage in sexual activities when you have affirmative consent from your partner."

The incident is the second sexual assault reported on campus in less than one month. On April 18, a student reported being sexually assaulted at Bellmont Hall on the UT-Austin campus at 8:45 p.m. while using the bathroom by an unknown attacker. To date, police have not disclosed if the suspect has been apprehended.
