Inadequate security incidents can occur anywhere, but the idea of physical assaults and attacks hit home this month when a female Kennesaw State University student was attacked on campus<\/a>. On Friday, May 4th, KSU alerted students, faculty, and staff members of the attack via text and phone alerts. Although she was not sexually assaulted, the attack near the campus residence hall had community members shaken when they received these alerts right after 7:45 on the morning of the 4th. According to the Marietta Daily Journal<\/em>, an attack near Kennesaw State University in the Marietta, Georgia area<\/a> led many students to reassess campus safety. The alerts were vague, leaving students uncertain about where the incident occurred and how they should respond. As a result, many are now taking extra precautions when traveling alone on campus.<\/p>\n

Kennesaw State University is reported to have a high level of security on campus, so the attack was unexpected. KSU offers a variety of crime prevention and education programs through its Department of Public Safety. Students may begin taking greater advantage of the programs in the future.<\/p>\n
