UW-Madison will be kicking off another school year next week, and for many returning faculty and staff- the murders of Joel Marino and student Brittany Zimmermann are still fresh memories.
So this year the UW is putting more emphasis on safety.
Both the Zimmermann and Marino murders happened in off campus neighborhoods highly populated by students, and because of those violent crimes the UW is emphasizing safety in those communities.
Not with extra officers or a change in patrol routes, but with information.
