The attack happened in broad daylight on November 15. Mina Sultana, co-president of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Washington (UW), said the assault has increased concerns about the safety. "Since the incident fear about personal safety has increased significantly among Muslim students on campus," she said.Students and leaders are especially concerned because they say UW police failed to notify the campus community about the assault. The department says it followed federal criteria about informing students of criminal activity on campus.Major Steve Rittereiser of the UW police was quoted as saying, "This particular situation didn't fit that criteria. It's listed as an assault case, and an assault case general doesn't get that type of notification.
