Yale failed to report a total of four forcible sex offenses in its campus crime statistics for 2001 and 2002, according to an April 19 letter from Mary E. Gust, director of administrative actions and appeals service group at the DOE.
Campus crime statistics from more than 6,000 colleges and universities use standards set by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that include criminal and hate offenses, and arrest figures from 1997 to 1999.
Since the U.S. Department of Education began investigating the college last year, the school has admitted certain faults, like underreporting campus sex offenses.
