[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]. Look at the Rochester stats for campus safety at the department of education website.

Shocking how much rape, dating violence, and stalking there is on campus. Not a safe place for women! [/quote]

Some troll is out there spreading disinformation about Rochester.  Strange.   The VAWA numbers for Rochester as for everywhere are depressing, but they’re not ‘shocking’ for Rochester specifically because its VAWA numbers are generally in line with those of what could be considered peer schools (eg MIT, Cornell, Syracuse).  Stop spreading untruths.

Some troll out there is trying to gaslight us about women's safety at Rochester. Strange.

Rochester in 2019: 21 rapes, 32 foldings, 53 dating violence, 32 stalkings
Cornell in 2019: 15 rapes, 16 fondlings, 22 dating violence, 37 stalkings
MIT in 2019: 12 rapes, 4 fondlings, 2 dating violence, 9 stalkings
Syracuse in 2019: 10 rapes, 5 fondlings, 6 dating violence, 3 stalkings

Hmmm, looks like Rochester is at least twice as bad as those "peer schools". Stop spreading untruths!

Hey, let's look at Columbia, it's only a few blocks from Harlem, bound to be worse than Rochester. Huh, 11 rapes, 4 fondlings, 24 dating violence, 25 stalkings - [i]safer than Rochester[/i]!

What about Hopkins? Right there in horrible Baltimore? 5 rapes, 6 fondlings, 1 dating violence, 25 stalkings, [i]also safer than Rochester[/i].

The troll has failed epically in trying to talk up the safety of Rochester. [/quote]

Personally I don't trust the data points---many, many universities strongly encourage students to NOT REPORT rapes, fondlings, dating violence, stalkings, etc....if it's not reported they don't have to "count it".

Also, one needs to assume these type of violence against women happen on ALL college campuses---many students just do not report at all.
