TO THE EDITOR:
I read with interest the article published in today’s paper regarding SafeWalk.
I find it curious, if not unconscionable that the University does not fund the SafeWalk program. What with all the coverage about sexual assault and murder on campus it seems almost criminal that this program has been defunded.
I can well imagine the fiscal constraints a large university must contend with, but do they not impede their mission if they do not provide a safe and comfortable place in which students live and learn? How does one put a premium on that?
I hope your thoughtful article will draw attention to this important issue.
