There is a degree of lost trust in the school,
the security guards should be more attentive.

It isn’t fair to blame the Public Safety Department for the alleged rape. The rapist quickly grabbed her and loaded her into a car. That wouldn’t take more than a few seconds. Public Safety Officers cannot be everywhere at once and to blame them for this is not right.
I feel as if the security guards main priority on campus is to give out tickets making revenue for the school more than caring for student safety. Since i started school here many semesters ago.. It seems that their main priotrities are out in the parking lot giving out tickets to student that dont have valid parking tickets. Its a shame when a school is more concern about parking ticket revenues than the safety of their students. thats my two cents.
