If you want action - contact the press. Local newspaper or television stations in the area. If you have proof (crime stats would work), usually reports at colleges and universities are public record - so even you, a public citizen can file a Freedom of Information request or State Open Records request - for the number and kinds of complaints filed on the campus, and if you have students that will talk - preferably more than 1, and preferably those will give their names and show their faces. Some media outlets will let them remain anonymous if there are good reasons (loss of scholarship, fear for safety). Get this information together and go to the press - the media is very good about holding such entities accountable. If you go to one and they ignore you - go to another one.
