NYU Student Urinated on Roommate, But Victim Evicted from Dorm Room (5 photos + 1 video)
An unpleasant incident in a New York University dorm room has turned into a conflict between the victim and the school. Sophomore Elonie Belcher reported that her roommate urinated on her. 
The incident took place in a dorm at New York University on Broome Street. The Tisch School of the Arts student said that on April 12 at around 5:30 a.m., she was woken up by her drunk roommate. She was squatting on top of her and urinating.
"It was horrible," Belcher, 19, said. "I thought we were friends." 
When she realized what was happening, she covered her face with her hands. That's when she started to urinate.
The Michigan native said she fought the urge to get revenge on her 20-year-old roommate.
"I knew if I hurt her, I would get punished," she said. "If you start a fight on campus, everyone involved will get punished."
The assailant soaked her clothes, bedding, and mattress. She provided this evidence to the school administration. 
Belcher was forced to move to another room in the same dorm.
"I asked why I had to move, and they said, 'What are you waiting for? Do you want us to kick her out?' And I said, 'Yes.'"
"They told me the only way out was to move," she continued. "I did, but they didn't pay attention to what happened to me." 
The culprit said she was only sleepwalking: "I don't do that. I think Eloni is lying."
The girl was questioned by the police, but no charges were brought.
There had never been any serious disagreements between them. However, the day before the incident, Belcher asked her neighbor to speak more quietly on the phone.
The neighbor apologized and ran to the toilet after urinating on Belcher, police said.
On April 15, Belcher learned that the school had not opened an investigation. In response, she posted a video of the incident, which was viewed by more than 4 million people.
The university then announced that she was "under investigation for posting the video." "They want to shift the blame onto me. It seems like there is no more freedom of speech. I truly believed that if something serious happened to me, it would be dealt with properly. I never thought it would come to this," the student complained.
John Beckman, a spokesman for NYU, said: "We are concerned about this incident. We took this issue seriously when we first learned of it. We disagree with the allegations that the university failed to address the student's welfare, assess the seriousness of the issue, or attempt to accommodate her wishes. Safety has always been our top priority."
Beckman would not confirm that the student had been disciplined, but said the law prohibits him from disclosing such information.
