Texas State University drastically under-reported the amount of sexual assaults that occurred at its San Marcos campus from 2016 and 2017, according to its annual security report released Monday.
Texas State had previously reported there had been eight rapes that occurred at the San Marcos campus from 2016-2017. According to the revised report released Monday, however, there were 36 cases of rape and one case of statutory rape during that time period. The data also revealed 40 combined cases of dating violence, domestic violence and stalking during the two-year span.
Texas State University announced in September that it provided insufficient information in its prior year’s annual security reports, including a lack of Campus Security Authority identification, lack of information for its Round Rock campus and reporting deficiencies.
