Sexual assault in Buffalo

When you go away to school no matter if you live in the dorms or off campus housing provided by the school you should always feel safe. I was watching the news earlier and saw a story about a man breaking into the houses of two girls who go to Buff State and Canisius College and sexually assaulting them. My first question to this report was were the girls raped and what constitutes as sexual assault in New York. I understand that those campus' are in Buffalo which has a higher crime rate than Fredonia does; but if something like this happened in Fredonia where girls houses in Park Place broken into and some assault occurred there would be notifications everywhere and our campus police would be very dedicated to the case. It later says in the story that Canisius did respond and put another security camera around where the event happened. Because they installed another camera they were  able to find the man who was guilty because they caught him on tape creeping on another potential victims house. Just think, if the college did nothing about it, like Buff State, another girl(s) would have been assaulted and the case would still be hot. Colleges really need to show that they care about their students safety and would do anything to protect them. I would expect Fredonia to react like Canisius did.
