Marshall Collins, the A&M-Corpus Christi vice president for marketing and communications, said he was not privy to the reasons for the dismissal.

"He is separated from the university as of Wednesday afternoon," Collins said.

According to Marshall Collins, vice president for marketing and communications, A&M-CC will not investigate this incident further since the roster was returned.When asked about A&M-CC using Socials Security numbers for identification, Collins replied, "All we have to go by is Social Security numbers.It's one of the fallacies of the system."

The 19-year-old student's acquaintances contacted campus police on Dec. 3, saying that a sexual assault may have occurred on the university's beach, which runs along the bay for the length of the campus, A&M-Corpus Christi spokesman Marshall Collins said.

The accused student came forward to police that evening to give a statement.Campus police learned on Dec. 5 that the girl - who does not attend the university - underwent a medical examination at an Austin-area hospital.She gave a statement to university police on Dec. 19.

Officials would not release either individual's name.Collins said officials are awaiting lab tests from the girl for alcohol and date rape drugs before passing on all the information to the District Attorney's office.

"He will determine where to go from there," Collins said.

Collins said the notices were not released until Monday because of the 17-year-old's delay in coming forward, the time that authorities needed to gather information, and the campus being closed for the winter break.Classes at A&M-Corpus Christi began Jan. 10.

Collins said officials informed students and staff through e-mail, campus fliers and regular mail at on-campus residences.

This is "an infeasible question," says Marshall Collins, assistant vice president at A&M-Corpus Christi.Because the state will not fund football, he says, one would have to go out and identify money specifically for that program.
