It is hard to tell from the outside whether these late night travelers are comfortable walking home by themselves. A recent report on ! ' i campus today. Sgt.

The latest version of crime stats can now be found online, including stats from previous years up until 2014, but there are critics who said they believe this information should have been available to Until a ms ogy the public sooner. Don Reid, chief of campus and police, said one reason tire website took so ong to update is because of security move of the campus reurity office.

According to CleryAct. info, tire Clery Act requires colleges and universities, both public and private, participating in federal student aid programs to disclose campus safety information and basic requirements for handling incidents of sexual violence and emergency situations. Disclosures about crime statistics and summaries of security policies are made once a year in an annual security report, and infonnation about specific crimes and emergencies is made available on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Wed have to get pretty cynical to believe that for some reason we would want to hide crime statistics, Reid said. That is something weve been doing long before it was federal law. Reid said anyone who wants an updated crime report can contact the campus security office. He said he hopes to set up a program similar to SUU where crime reports are updated on a monthly basis. Spainhower said she feels safe going to school at DSU. I do feel like DSU is a pretty safe campus, Spain hower said. I go to school there, and then I also work here where I see people who have been victimized but are surviving every day and are still going to school. Spainhower said it is common for colleges to report numbers that dont match up for sexual assault crimes. She said she has noticed DSU has a similar tendency with its reporting. At least one in five women in Utah colleges are going to be sexually assaulted before they graduate, so where are they? Spainhower said. Were not seeing them m crime reporting at all. We have never at any point in time withheld any crime statistics, Reid said. For the year 2014, the DSU campus crime report lists zero sexual assault crimes on campus. This is a stark contrast to what KUTV reported last October about St. George having about 80 new victims of domestic violence per month. Something is missing, Spainhower said. Theres something that isnt being reported or communicated to back up the statistic that the Dove Center knows is year. Some show goers were disappointed with the lack of DSU students at the show. Rayner and Card said they were concerned by this lack of student involvement. More of the students here at DSU need to come and avail themseh es of the theater and music but also the visual arts they have here, Card said. Its a good department. Jarvis said he would like to encourage everyone, students and residents alike, to come out to the show next year. He also urges residents and students of St. George to come to other shows held in the art gallery as well as theater and musical performances held by the art Iris interest.
