Dante Benitez and Ivan Loginov, who entered Penn as members of the Class of 2020, are both accused of assaulting Wharton sophomore Max Arias, causing him to sustain a concussion, bloody bruises and a fractured nose and wrist.

More than two years after the suicide of former College junior Timothy Hamlett, his mother is suing Penn and his former track and field coach.

During an appointment in Leonard Rosenfeld's office on the premises of Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, a patient claims he hypnotized her before sexually assaulting her.

The student called 911, prompting DPS to send a UPennAlert to the university community at 8 p.m. and a subsequent all-clear message at 8:23 p.m. 

At approximately 1:13 p.m., the Division of Public Safety released its third safety alert in the past three days.

The area was declared "all-clear" around 4:25 p.m., according to a follow-up alert sent by the Division of Public Safety. 

The alleged perpetrator, described by the Division of Public Safety as a lightly-complected black man with curly hair in dark pants and a purple shirt, used a "simulated weapon" to rob someone unaffiliated with Penn.

A safety alert said DPS "has created a Task Force with Penn Police, Philadelphia Police and Allied Universal to identify and apprehend this individual" responsible for the burglaries.
