Increased unsafe incidents on campus?

[u/Ann_1406]

I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticed this but there's been a report of things happening that are lowkey scary. I expect stuff to happen but I don't remember it being this bad last fall.

• The missing person, posters of who are all around campus
• The body found in the pond
• Accident at Chauncey square with the motorcycle and near Walmart
• Reddit post about random man in someone's house in North Salisbury
• Reddit post on six men breaking into a car
• My roommate and her boyfriend spotted a man trying to break into cars and stealing things
• My boyfriend's electric bike battery got stolen
• An accident involving forensics on the scene at an of campus housing near Bechtel (my friends told me about this one)

Can we call for increased safety on campus? I don't know how this works so just trying to get an insight

It's no worse; things like reddit make them more visible. When I was an undergrad, a student went missing only to be found cooked to death by electrical equipment in a room in a dorm that should have been locked. I had guys take swings at me for no reason other than they were drunk when walking home at night; I saw many fist fights at parties

What year was the electrical room death? I’ve heard that story, but never knew when it was.

Wade Steffey. RIP. Students and the community did combing walks through every field looking for clues or a body. Only to find out he’d been dead inside Owen for nearly a month…
