Safe Campuses?

Feeling safe - is not actual safety. I am amazed at the lengths colleges and universities go to so everyone can "feel" safe.

The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents voted unanimously, by telephone, to fire President John Fallon. His termination -- two years into a 5-year contract -- comes on the heels of a report that blasted EMU officials for their handling of a student's death in December.

The U.S. Department of Education report said the university failed to alert the public of the rape and killing of Laura Dickinson, and that it violated federal law by underreporting and misreporting other crimes on campus since 2003. It was roughly 10 weeks before EMU announced that there may have been foul play in Dickinson's death on Dec. 15.

A fellow student has been arrested and charged. His trial is set to begin in October.
