I hate this story
When I was in college, there was a ton of messaging to young women on how to stay safe on campus. We were taught not to walk in the dark alone, to keep our doors to our rooms locked even when we were awake.
There was a stint of rapes reported at frat parties on year before university officials stepped in, although since the fraternities are not technically part of the university there was little they could do. I knew at least 2 girls who were assaulted on campus.
But, I specifically want to address the advice to keep dorm room doors locked. While locked doors would have deterred Haeven Watson and saved these young women from lifelong trauma, having this as a general policy has a lot of negative downstream effects. Everyone kept their doors locked in my dorm and it was incredibly depressing and boring to live in. It was like a hotel, with long hallways of closed and locked doors. I don't know anyone from my dorm days because I pretty much never met anyone. In contrast, people I know who went to smaller schools with a more social dorm culture graduated with much more robust social networks which has paid off in dividends in their careers.
I hate that girls have to go to school in such a low-trust, dangerous environment where they have to choose between safety and having a social life.
