Allegations of sexual assault and the use of date-rape drugs have surfaced at Northwestern University.
The school received tips about two alleged incidents, one on January 21 and the other this month, according to a campus security alert issued Monday night. These are the latest claims associated with a chilling problem that is significant on US college campuses, an extensive recent survey found.
