SEATTLE — Federal education officials have fined Washington State University $82,500 for violations in 2007 of a campus crime reporting law, including not properly reporting two sexual assaults, the university said today.

WSU will appeal the fine, spokesman Darin Watkins told The Associated Press.

The U.S. Department of Education detailed the fine in a letter to WSU President Elson Floyd today, more than five months after federal education officials completed an investigation of WSU’s campus crime statistics.
