Students at the downtown MATC campus claim that a purported sexual assault has upset them.
“Honestly makes me feel really angry,” Aniyah Johnson, student stated.
“I didn’t know stuff like this happened here,” Nigel Harvey, student stated.
A sexual assault that occurred in a washroom on the second level of the downtown Milwaukee campus student center was reported to MATC.
“Yes, really shocked! I’ve never been in a building where anything like that has happened before, so that’s crazy,” Juan Lazcano, student.
The victim, according to Milwaukee police, was sent to a hospital.
Student, Don Jones stated that, “Who ever did that should be ashamed of themselves.”
Nonetheless, authorities have identified and are working with a person of interest. It is thought that the victim and the person of interest are both campus students.
MATC officials stated, “The safety of students and employees is our highest priority.”
Students counter that more can be done.

“It’s in the public, anybody can come in. We should have more security on campus,” Harvey stated.
While a list of resources has been made available by the school, students are remaining vigilant.
“Take a different route to school. Take a different route to class even in the building. Avoid the lonely stairwells,” Johnson stated. “I’ve seen anybody could walk in the building during the day and that’s been a concern.”
