<p>College Checker - absolutely correct. Remember when the Yale grad student was murdered in 2009 and how closed circuit cameras helped the on and off campus security? Not at Duke! My student had not heard about the sexual assault and robbery until I expressed my concern.</p>
<p>Oh and DukeRM just wait until you have to call Campus police because the fraternity in your quad has been playing their music at ear piercing levels until 4AM in the morning on a weekday. And my student is a Greek, but even they have gotten fed up with the thoughtlessness of some of the fraternities.</p>
<p>What has been Duke Administration’s reaction to the robbery of two female undergrad students. One student was also sexually assaulted. Any university that is so ho hum about crime targeting students no longer has my respect. Their attitude is even touted in the Nov/Dec Duke Magazine with the headline “Crime Happens.” [Crime</a> Happens by Bridget Booher-November/December 2008](<a href=“Duke Mag”>Duke Mag) Tell that to these two female students and their parents.</p>
<p>And in case no one knows where Wannamaker and Chapel drives are - just think about the busy big circle at the entrance known as the Chapel Drive traffic circle. Wannamaker goes down to the Edens Quad.</p>
<p>Student reports robbery, sexual assault
November 30, 2009
Duke Police are investigating an alleged robbery and sexual assault that took place two weeks ago near Wannamaker and Chapel drives on West Campus.</p>
<p>A female Duke student said she was approached by a man around 10 p.m. Nov. 16. She said the suspect took cash, the student’s DukeCard and committed a second-degree sexual offense. The suspect was described as a black male, 5-feet-11-inches tall and 28 to 30 years old.</p>
<p>The student submitted an anonymous report on Nov. 23 to another campus office, who then shared the report with Duke Police.</p>
<p>Upon being notified, DUPD immediately began an investigation, although the lapse of time and anonymous report will make it harder to identify the suspect, said Assistant Chief Gloria Graham.</p>
<p>“If someone reports a crime at 3 a.m., an investigator would be called and we’d start work right then,” Graham said. “In this instance, we weren’t able to process the crime scene by setting up a perimeter and conducting a search, which greatly increases the probability of solving the crime.”</p>
<p>Graham said that reports can also be made anonymously to Duke Police through its “Silent Witness” program on the Duke Police website.</p>
<p>Anyone with any information about the alleged robbery and sexual assault on Nov. 16 is asked to contact Duke Police at 684-2444.</p>
