There were two sep­a­rate re­ports that need fur­ther clas­si­fi­ca­tion. One of them oc­curred in Oak­wood-Slater Hall on April 8. The other oc­curred in the Din­ing Com­mons, and also took place on April 8. No fur­ther in­for­ma­tion has been pro­vided as to what hap­pened. 

Paul Neel, Di­rec­tor of Cam­pus Safety, has a few words of ad­vice for stu­dents, “There are a few im­por­tant things stu­dents should re­mem­ber if they are us­ing a rideshare ser­vice (Uber, Lyft, etc.): 

• Ver­ify the li­cense plate, make and model of the ve­hi­cle pick­ing you up matches what is in your app. 
• Ask the dri­ver, ‘What’s my name?’ If they do not know, Do Not get in. 
• Be aware of your sur­round­ings as you wait for your ride.”
