Goucher College President Sanford J. Ungar has sent an e-mail to nearly 1,500 undergraduate students at the private liberal arts college in Towson, warning about allegations of a string of date rapes and urging any victims to come forward.

Three “very serious allegations” of sexual assault both on and off campus were reported to the campus public safety office, and date-rape drugs may have been used in all of those cases, Ungar wrote in the message sent out Friday.

Kristen Keener, Goucher’s media relations director, said yesterday that a student who did not witness the incidents but heard about them from friends reported the information. The purported victims had not been approached by campus officials, nor had police been notified, Keener added.
