FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado State University officials have warned students that police may intervene in the popular end-of-semester "Undie Run."

The Coloradoan reports (http://noconow.co/1SLM2dO ) that scantily clad college students participate in the Undie Run in the name of charity, but administrators say the event is poorly organized and creates concerns about sexual harassment and public safety.

In a campus-wide email sent Tuesday, the schools Public Safety Team and dean of students wrote that anyone participating this year "takes a significant risk."

The event is usually held the weekend before spring semester final exams -- which are scheduled for next week. CSU says the run is not authorized by the university and does little, if anything, for charity.

The school says it has spent about $15,000 responding to the run each year.
