Federal education officials have fined Washington State University $82,500 for violating a campus crime reporting law in 2007, including not properly reporting two  sexual   assaults , the university said Friday. Darin Watkins, a spokesman for the university, said it would appeal the fine. Education officials audited campus crime statistics at about a dozen schools this year, including Washington State. Some of those schools remain under investigation and could also be fined for violations of the Clery Act, which requires campus notification of potential threats to students and employees. Washington State was charged with failing to properly disclose forcible sex crime statistics and accurately classify offenses, and with failing to include statements about campus crime reporting policies in its annual security report.
