U of C Keeps Campus Security Plan Despite Dorm Rape
The University of Chicago will not overhaul its security system after a dormitory rape in Snell Hall. Officials cite a large mobile force as most effective, noting the current force is the fourth largest police body in Illinois and operates around the clock with patrols bounded by 48th to 61st streets and Lake Michigan. Slight changes to Snell Hall locks have been made, while student opinions range from support for tighter controls to insistence on balancing safety with freedom.
