Read this

Read this from a student newspaper in Wisconsin.
Here is a short excerpt from a recounting of an robbery at a Wisconsin dorm:

Every student who has ever lived in a dorm knows what happened: Someone let in the wrong person. He followed someone up the elevator and found an open room




KC: This is what happened to me(not me, but "me" for the purposes of this narrative). I was attacked in my room in the middle of the night. I had to go to the hospital and get a ct-scan with hospital bills totaling over $4,000. I suffered hearing and vision loss and a concussion. I felt like I could have been killed had not a neighbor come to my aid. How did the intruder get in to the residence hall? From what I was told, the attendant at the front desk instructed a group of guys to open the door to the dorm when my soon to be attacker was pounding on the door to get in just minutes before.


How should "KC" or her/his family feel when K-State declines to assist in covering any unpaid medical bills not covered by insurance? How many thousands of dollars does K-State pay their lawyers each year to tell them not to extend a helping hand to a student attacked in one of their dorms?
