University of Arizona police officers have arrested two students in connection with the assault of a black student on campus earlier this week.

The announcement from UAPD Police Chief Brian Seastone on Friday came less than a day after President Robert C. Robbins said the school would “aggressively pursue all avenues of justice" in regard to the incident.

The two students, who were not identified in the release, are facing misdemeanor assault charges. The case will now go to the Pima County Attorney's Office to review if charges should be filed.

In a letter to students, faculty and staff sent Thursday evening, Robbins acknowledged the incident without providing specific details. He said the matter was immediately handled by the Dean of Students and that a University of Arizona police investigation is ongoing.
