<p>It sounds like they caught the rapist already, which is great news. Students were actively involved in helping one of the victims and chasing the perpetrator and getting his license #, which is how they caught him. [NOPD</a> makes rape arrest - News](<a href=“http://media.www.thehullabaloo.com/media/storage/paper958/news/2008/10/24/News/Nopd-Makes.Rape.Arrest-3505667.shtml]NOPD”>http://media.www.thehullabaloo.com/media/storage/paper958/news/2008/10/24/News/Nopd-Makes.Rape.Arrest-3505667.shtml) and are actively working on improving the lighting. There are call boxes all around campus (like most colleges) and there is an escort service that any student can call to be walked to/from any building if they don’t have someone to walk with. There is also a program called “Safe Ride” [Tulane</a> University - Division of Student Affairs](<a href=“Home | Student Affairs”>Home | Student Affairs) which students can use to be driven around or near campus, as well as the campus police who patrol within a 1 mile radius of campus (ie on and off campus).</p>
<p>I am not sure why you are so critical of Tulane-- U of FL had a serial murderer who decapitated students a while back (one student’s head was left on a bookshelf in their apartment), and FSU had Ted Bundy. No campus is immune. My older s’s car was broken into off campus at Rice, and MOWC’s son’s apt was burglarized off campus at Penn. </p>
<p>As for PKE, The school was aware of the problems, and from my understanding had to wait until they could prove formal rules violations. When the hazing incident occurred, criminal charges were pressed, which was appropriate. The students where addressed throught the NOLA legal system (such as it is…) and the Frat was shut down and its charter revoked. </p>
<p>Your reaction seems a bit over-the-top. No school wants their students in harms way.</p>
<p>** Heres some additional info on the escort and shuttle services available, as well as the Safe Ride and EMS services.
