University of Delaware student charged with assaulting ex

By The Associated Press

NEWARK, Del. — A University of Delaware student has been charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend last week.

University officials said the man was separated from the school Tuesday and his fraternity, Kappa Delta Rho, has revoked his membership, but The News Journal reports that some students have said the public response wasn’t fast enough.

One protest Wednesday drew more than 500 people. Court documents state that the man got violent when the woman, also a student, went to his apartment Friday, spray painting her eyes and strangling her to the point of unconsciousness.

The man is charged with kidnapping, assault and other offences and posted bond on Tuesday. The Associated Press is not naming him to protect the woman’s identity.

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $111.6 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2022, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
