In compliance with the “Timely Warning” provision of the federal Jeanne Clery Campus Security Act, Augsburg University Department of Public Safety (DPS) is giving notice of a situation that represents a serious or continuing threat to students and employees of the University. This timely warning aims to provide information to aid the Augsburg community in protecting themselves after a report of a serious crime.
REPORTED OFFENSE(S): SEXUAL ASSAULT (SEX OFFENSE/RAPE)
On March 17, 2026, at 4:04 a.m., the University’s Title IX Coordinator received an email report of a student who stated they were sexually assaulted in Urness Hall. The report stated that the student invited the suspect (who is believed to be unaffiliated with the Augsburg community) to their Urness Hall residence at approximately 2:00 a.m. on March 17, and that the sexual assault occurred in the room shortly thereafter. The suspect then left the building alone shortly before 3:00 a.m.
Upon further investigation by DPS, a description of the suspect was obtained, and a decision to issue a timely warning was made.
SUSPECT DESCRIPTION
The suspect was described (and confirmed by security footage) as a black male in their late teens or early twenties, 5’ 7” or 5’ 8”, with curly black hair and facial hair. He was wearing a black jacket, black shirt, and black sweatpants. (See DPS website for suspect description disclaimer.)
STATUS
DPS is currently investigating this incident. Anyone who may have information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Minneapolis Police or Augsburg DPS at 612-330-1717.
