Temple University is investigating an alleged rape that happened at an off-campus apartment building for students near the school.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the Temple University crime log, the rape happened around 2:30 a.m. Saturday at University Village on the 1700 block of North 10th Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rape was reported Tuesday morning and was referred to the student code of conduct.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a statement, a spokesperson for Temple said in part, “Because this incident occurred at a private, off-campus residence, it is being addressed through Temple’s Student Conduct Code. This process allows the university to investigate allegations and hold students accountable under university policy.”<\/p>\n
Students who report a sexual assault can choose whether they want to participate in a criminal investigation. Officials do not believe there is a threat to the community and are investigating the incident, the statement said.<\/p>\n
Temple previously said<\/a> it has gathered a group of students, faculty and staff to review its current practices and make recommendations to administration in light of recent sexual assault allegations<\/a> at Cornell University<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
