More than a dozen Indiana university students have come down with mumps in the past two weeks on three college campuses in what health officials are calling separate outbreaks.

Indiana University announced Friday two new cases for a total of four on its Bloomington campus and one at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis.

Butler announced last week that three students had mumps. In an email Friday, Butler spokesman Marc Allan said six more students, for a total of nine, have contracted mumps since Feb. 11.
