Chancellor’s Update: Reaction to Professor Arrest

Dear UWM Faculty, Staff and Students,

Over the weekend, UW-Milwaukee Professor of Health Sciences Anthony Azenabor was
charged with two counts of felony sexual assault with the use of force and one
misdemeanor count of fourth degree sexual assault related to interactions with UWM
students. Yesterday, a Milwaukee County judge issued a no contact order, barring
Professor Azenabor from the UWM campus.

The charges against Professor Azenabor are very serious. Our UWM Police Department
has been working closely with the district attorney’s ofﬁce on the criminal investigation,
and university leadership is evaluating his continued employment. While a no contact
order was issued yesterday as part of the legal proceedings, UWM took actions
previously to preclude Professor Azenabor from having any contact with UWM students.
In addition, he is not teaching any courses this semester.

UWM is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all everyone, and we always
encourage students, faculty and staff who believe they have been victimized to come
forward and speak to police and other resource ofﬁces as noted below. Those who
report issues like this are courageous and their bravery allows us to take responsive
actions.
