Meanwhile protests over sexual assaults at fraternities are being seen in Nebraska's neighbor to the east. 

At the University of Iowa, an online petition accuses two members of Phi Gamma Delta - also known as FIJI - of sexual assault nearly a year ago and accuses police and the school of not doing anything about it. 

The petition claims Iowa City Police have video and DNA evidence, but that the County Attorney opted not to prosecute. 

As of Tuesday evening, the petition has more than 70,000 signatures. 

Iowa City Police declined to comment or confirm if it investigated the allegations. 

The FIJI Fraternity at the University of Nebraska was the subject of protests last week following allegations of sexual assault there.
