What Duty to Protect?

The lawsuit's allegations against UMW include:
Negligent security measures.

Failure to properly monitor the parking deck, which the complaint says UMW officials should have known to be dangerous.

Failure to warn students of dangers in the parking deck.

Failure to install and operate security cameras.

Failure to train security guards, campus police officers and others on how to report, investigate and prevent sexual assaults.

Failure to properly investigate complaints of rape and provide adequate security.
I'm not persuaded.

Now if the lawsuit had focused on prohibiting the tools of defense, I might be more sympathetic.

Besides, even if the campus security alert system had been activated, why wouldn't people assume they were just being punked again? I assume everyone there is familiar with "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"...?

If it's any consolation, miss,  I'm pretty sure campus safety expert Colin Goddard would tell you you did the right thing.
