The robbery incident occurred at 10:30 pm (not a crazy late time) and on a Thursday evening. Any student might have left an evening class at 9:30 pm, stopped at the Engineering 24/7 Library or have been at Thompson Library which closes at mid-night week days.

The walk area where she was accosted is a well lit and open area. There are three new engineering buildings there and all new, very open and well lit pedestrian walk areas. The area is well traveled and utilized by many students, faculty, and staff to go to and from the three bus stops for OSU and COTA busses that stop on Woody Hayes Drive in this north-central, on campus location or to go to the undergraduate and graduate on campus housing located between Woody Hayes Drive and Lane Ave.

The report of this incident is very unsettling. What number of walking and/or bicycle campus police are on duty week day evenings at the present time? It may be time to organize and initiate a campus wide Campus Auxillary Pedestrian Security Patrol.
