We can't be naive and we can't be complacent. We know that sexual assault and assault are under-reported. We know that when young women go off to school they don't always have a strong friend structure in place. There is a lot of anxiety about being away from home for the first time, and there are a number of substances available on and off the campus. All these things come together and should be signals to us that we should never accept a zero value. We should always be thinking. We have to have a level of awareness. We can't be complacent, even in terms of ourselves looking at the issue. We always have to be challenging our programs, our services, our level of security, our awareness, and what we're doing in terms of continuing that education piece. It shouldn't matter whether they're four or 24 in terms of wanting to have an environment where we can keep them safe.
