The University has taken numerous steps to attempt to fight and prevent sexual assault on campus and change the way they handle cases after an article in Rolling Stone magazine — which has since been called into question — detailed a culture of rape and sexual violence surrounding a sexual assault case that purportedly took place at a fraternity house.

University of Virginia Deputy Spokesperson Matthew Charles told ABC News that the incident is believed to have taken place on Jan. 30.
