MADISON, Wis. — A University of Wisconsin-Madison student government group is pushing for changes to make students safer on campus.
After a year-long examination, Associated Students of Madison released a series of safety recommendations on Tuesday. The ASM report comes amid heightened safety awareness among students, staff and police because of two sexual assaults on UW students in the past month.
ASM campus safety intern Kelly Arendt said that students want a neighborhood watch program. UW fraternities and sororities have been conducting bar-time walks, which are popular among students. ASM leaders said that they want the program expanded campus wide, WISC-TV reported.
