In the last six months of 2011, Yale University officials received reports of 52 cases of sexual assault, harassment and other misconduct.
The Yale Daily News reports that university officials on Tuesday night released Yale's first-ever report compiling all sexual misconduct complaints reported around the New Haven campus.
Yale President Richard Levin said in an email to the Yale community that the number of complaints "is a matter of deep concern." He said university officials will not tolerate sexual misconduct.
Federal Education Department officials have been investigating a complaint by students that Yale has a sexually hostile environment and has failed to adequately respond to sexual harassment concerns.
