There was a single paragraph, buried deep, that suggested that, well, of course you could always just call 911 and get the police involved, but really, The University is the way to go.
My daughter got in a bit of trouble for suggesting that she was simply going to call janitorial services for cleaning up the mess, if anyone laid a hand on her without her permission, and that she intended to call the police first, and the university could talk with them once the police were done with the crime scene.
It was clear the whole process was meant to sweep things under the rug quietly.
