As the mother of 3 OSU students I agree that OSU does not focus on improving student safety, on and off campus. I understand there are undercover cops at parties so a 20 year old with a beer can be arrested. This is a waste of taxpayer dollars. A uniformed police presence would help deter the serious crime that occurs. I agree with Anonymous that the constant excuse is the jurisdiction of campus police vs. CPD-ridiculous. The off campus students (or I should say thier parents)are a cash cow for landlords and the City of Columbus. The new campus housing becomes attractive to parents for safety reasons if nothing else. I would think that fact alone would lead the landlords to advocate for safety measures such as a beefed up police presence and streetlights at a minimum. The number of campus police cited by this article is shockingly low. The Lantern is doing a great service to broadcast these numbers.
