“many have blamed USC’s graduate student housing for the recent student deaths”

oh good grief. If a student is killed by a gunman it is the gunman’s fault. Would you say the same thing about the U of Chicago? which is also located adjacent to a “bad” past of town and which does not supply housing in “safe” areas for all of its 12000 grad students.? Was it Chicago’s fault that a gunman killed a grad student? Which did happen, a few years . Both Chicago and USC have large private campus security forces. Lets start blaming killers for killings, not colleges.

And Stanford suffered from a series of rapes in recent years by what I believe were non student perpetrators [if memory serves], which happened more often than not in poorly lit places on campus. Are they Stanford’s fault? Cause the entire campus is not lit up at night? Or the fault of the rapist?
sheesh…
