University in Allendale accused of delaying assault reports

(AP) — Ottawa County authorities said Grand Valley State University has a policy discouraging prompt reporting of sexual assaults that undermines investigators' ability to gather evidence and successfully prosecute the crimes. The university's police department investigates sexual assaults on campus and is supposed to forward cases with enough evidence to the prosecutor's office. Frantz said he and Sheriff Gary Rosema have had discussions with Grand Valley State's Title IX coordinator and equity officer, Theresa Rowland, about how soon the university turns over information to the prosecutor's office.
