University Revises Its Safety Record
A university that had reported it was one of the safest schools in the Big Ten last year has revised its statistics, showing that it actually had more sexual assaults on campus than other conference schools.
The revised figures being submitted to the U.S. government by the University of Wisconsin-Madison will show 19 sexual assaults on campus in 2000, nine of them in residence halls.
The school previously reported only two assaults, none of them in the dorms. The old numbers placed the campus among the safest of the Big Ten schools, in a tie with Northwestern and Purdue.
