ASSUALT ON 7 COLUMBIA STUDENTS

در سحرگاه یکشنبه ای که گذشت هفت دانشجو دانشگاه کلمبیا در ظرف 50 دقیقه در حول و حوش پردیس دانشگاه مورد حمله اوباش قرار گرفتند

Early Sunday morning (OCTOBER 13, 2008), “a group of five to seven black males ranging in age from 20-25 years old” assaulted seven Columbia students— five of whom were Asian—in the span of fifteen minutes.

According to the Columbia Department of Public Safety, only one of the victims was robbed during the attack, but all of them sustained physical injuries, including two who required stitches.

Instead of immediately sending an e-mail alert to the entire CU community, however, Public Safety elected to keep quiet about the incident. The only students who received an alert – at the time of this article's publication – were those enrolled in the Law School and Barnard.

Why keep quiet? Don’t all students deserve to know when a spree of assaults occurs right outside the protective gates of their campus?
