The University of Iowa police on Monday issued a crime alert regarding two reported sexual assaults.

According to the alert, police received a report of a sexual assault that occurred on the night of Feb. 6 in an East Side residence hall. Police also received a report of a separate incident on Feb. 7 in a West Side residence hall.

The survivors declined to report the incidents to the police, said the alert, which was issued under the federal Clery crime disclosure act.

These are the ninth and tenth reported sexual misconducts of the 2015-16 school year.

Additionally, the UI issued emergency Hawk Alerts regarding a man sexually harassing several women around campus over two days in November.
