[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Yale.  New Haven is a weird city and possibly unique in that it is an urban environment (not a college town) but the only forces with any political power are two large non profits that don’t pay taxes.  The students and their families are the only ones with pressure to leverage the university which in turn is the only one with leverage to pressure the city.  When Yale wanted a portion of the city totally knocked down and rebuilt, it got it.  When Yale wanted a fancy new hotel to house interviews and such, it got it.  If the police force needs more resources, the only way to likely to get it is if he students parents start putting pressure on the school.  
The crime issue is not significant for undergrads but it’s more of a concern for grad students who mostly live off campus and are often walking by themselves to get to/from campus late at night.  [/quote]

This! As a single female I felt completely safe walking alone day and night on campus.  Off campus at night I would be more aware and careful (I lived off campus a year).

The flyer is definitely alarmist and meant to get student/parent support for more resources.
