Alert Carolina sends notification about a false sexual assault report

Story here. Excerpt:

'Students received an Alert Carolina message Monday about a falsely reported sexual assault because the Department of Public Safety wanted to assuage heightened concerns about the issue.

Students and the campus community received an informational message in an email that said a non-UNC student had falsely filed a report about an alleged April 6 assault.

The email said an alert about the incident was not immediately sent to students because DPS didn’t think there was a threat to campus.

Young said the email explained why an alert was filed about a false claim.

“Given the current campus raised levels of concern (about sexual assault), we wanted folks to see why we didn’t issue the alert because no threat existed and the report was false,” he said.'
