Boston College should fulfill its responsibility to provide a safe living environment for its students by installing emergency blue lights around off-campus housing. Recent reports of attempted break-ins this year and increased reports of rape and stalking in 2021 demonstrate that BC must provide a security system for the hundreds of students that are not guaranteed four years of housing.  In compliance with the Clery Act, BC’s recently released crime statistics show that reports of both rape and stalking increased in 2021.

BCPD said it will replace old and broken phones in the coming months as a part of campus security upgrades.
