<p>University Officials Accused of Hiding Campus Homicide</p>

<p>YPSILANTI, Mich., June 23 (AP) — For two months after Laura Dickinson was found dead in her dormitory room, Eastern Michigan University officials assured her parents and the public that there was no sign of foul play. It was not until a fellow classmate was arrested in February that the truth came out: Ms. Dickinson had been raped and murdered.</p>
<p>Now Eastern Michigan’s president and other university officials are being accused of endangering students to protect the university’s image.</p>
<p>Ms. Dickinson, a 22-year-old junior majoring in nutrition, may have been dead as long as three days before university employees found her body on Dec. 15, in her locked room in Hill Hall.</p>
<p>The campus police began the investigation but soon called in the sheriff and the Michigan State Police crime lab.</p>
<p>The state police told university officials that Ms. Dickinson might have been murdered. By 9:30 p.m., the county medical examiner had listed the death as suspicious and decided foul play was a possibility.</p>
<p>But the next day, the university posted the following on its Web site: “At this point, there is no reason to suspect foul play. We are fully confident in the safety and security of our campus environment, and our campus officials will remain vigilant in ensuring safety for all members of our campus community.”</p>
<p>Ms. Dickinson’s father, Bob Dickinson, said the university told him the same thing and never offered a more specific explanation for her death.</p>
<p>Two years earlier, Ms. Dickinson had suffered an irregular heartbeat that doctors thought was stress-related, and her father said he thought something similar had happened this time.</p>
<p>From the family’s coffee shop in Hastings, about 120 miles from Detroit, Mr. Dickinson said: “We always suspected something had happened besides something natural. But we had no idea what.”</p>
<p>This week, the faculty council at the university approved a no-confidence resolution against President John Fallon III by a vote of 22-to-4 and called for his firing. The university’s Board of Regents may soon decide Mr. Fallon’s fate.</p>
<p>On Feb. 23, a 20-year-old student at Eastern Michigan, Orange Taylor III, was arrested by the campus police and charged with murder and criminal sexual conduct.</p>
<p>Mr. Taylor, who is awaiting trial, had become a suspect in January after a security camera showed him entering the dorm early on the morning Ms. Dickinson was believed to have been killed. DNA analysis showed it was his semen in the room, the police said.</p>
<p>“They kept telling us there was no cause for alarm,” said Asia David, 20, who lived a few floors above Ms. Dickinson. “We were sleeping through this girl being murdered in her room. It just seems like they were really holding stuff back from us.”</p>
<p>The Board of Regents ordered an independent investigation in March by a law firm. A 568-page report, released June 8, revealed that the vice president of student affairs, the public safety chief and the university’s communications office had known that Ms. Dickinson’s death was probably a homicide but had kept the information secret.</p>
<p>The law firm also said that a police document containing lurid details about the crime scene was ordered shredded by James Vick, the vice president for student affairs. Ms. Dickinson had been found spread-eagled on the floor, naked from the waist down, a pillow covering her face and semen on her leg.</p>
<p>Mr. Vick has been on paid administrative leave since early March. He said he had become the “designated scapegoat.” His lawyer said Mr. Vick had the document shredded because he believed police did not want certain facts about the crime to become public.</p>
<p>The law firm’s report said that Mr. Vick never told the university president that homicide was a possibility and that Mr. Fallon was unaware of the homicide investigation until the police arrested Mr. Taylor.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Mr. Fallon apologized to the university’s students and staff, and to the Dickinson family, saying the university’s actions “compounded your pain.”</p>
<p>“We did get it wrong, shamefully so,” Mr. Fallon said.
