"Drexel is committed to maintaining a safe learning environment for all students," the university said in a statement. "The University does not tolerate sexual misconduct or hazing."

School officials said Drexel investigates all reports of sexual misconduct and hazing under its student conduct policies and provides students with support resources and multiple avenues for reporting potential violations, including an anonymous tip line.

The university said its Student Conduct Office, Office of Civil Rights Compliance and Drexel Police are actively reviewing the allegations and determining next steps.
