OPINION: 'How can we address problems of violence on campus when we haven't yet found the wisdom or the courage to face the larger problems of murder in America?' writes Tucson resident Peter Likins, former president of the University of…
Jeanne Clery was raped and murdered in her bed by a fellow student at Lehigh University in 1986. As Lehigh’s president, I worked with Jeanne’s parents and others to design a campus memorial to honor their beautiful daughter. It also seemed important for us to understand how this could happen in such an apparently safe environment.
I attended Jeanne’s memorial service, bracing myself for the indictments, both personal and professional, coming directly from her father, including the false declarations that Jeanne’s murderer was less academically qualified for admission than his victim. How could this happen? The University of Arizona campus is an open, public space, virtually impossible to lock down. With as many as 50,000 people on campus for the university president to oversee, genuinely feeling responsible for their public safety, that president can no more prevent all crime on campus than the mayor of Casa Grande can keep his city of the same size free of crime. Nonetheless, both mayors and university presidents feel a profound responsibility for public safety.
