UF students can now be escorted to dorms at night
University of Florida students can now get someone to walk with them at night on campus.
The Gainesville Sun reports (http://bit.ly/1wThOkc ) that the Walk Safe program is in response to last year's attacks on three women by a man who has avoided arrest.
The students working in the program are paid. They work from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. When they aren't escorting someone, they walk around campus in pairs to look for suspicious activity and report it to campus police. They are not supposed to engage with any suspects.
The university has also trimmed trees and bushes and installed additional lighting as a result of the attacks.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
