A University of Kansas fraternity that was suspended over alleged sexual assaults says it wants the suspension lifted.

Kappa Sigma representatives say the organization is not a danger to the campus. They contend an investigation into the alleged sexual assaults in late September is taking too long. Fraternity representatives plan to attend a hearing next week to ask that the suspension be lifted.

Kappa Sigma has been on interim suspension since Sept. 30, after the university received reports of “multiple instances of sexual misconduct” at the chapter house on or about Sept. 27.

The university’s typical 60-day investigation time period would end by Dec. 1, but the university has said it needs more time because the investigation is complex.
