“Documentation is very important,” Kapfhammer said. “That all could be used as evidence at a later date.”

Nick Faravaugh, a firstyear business student, said he believes campus is safe but was unaware of the police presence.

“I haven’t noticed much campus security, but I don’t think it’s needed, either,” Faravaugh said.

First-year undecided student Georgia Sines said she’s had “uncomfortable” experiences on campus, but none she would consider unsafe.
