@classy wow, way to blame the victim AND characterize an entire neighborhood as full of people like the attacker.
bwog, please let people know if there’s some kind of collection or benefit or something going on for the student. maybe she’s financially set to deal with the medical issues, but if not, the university community would help out.
@security Apparently, the attacker gained entry by following her into the building. I am a grad student in couples housing. My wife and I feel pretty safe on 112th st. However, I can’t stress enough the importance of making sure the door locks behind you when you enter a building.
My wife was mugged here.
A neighbor was sexually assaulted in the elevator of our building.
This weekend, 2 homeless people decided to set up camp in our building using some of the building materials from the roof as a shelter. As a result, we now have major leaks in the building.
Fortunately, my wife wasn’t hurt, our neighbor wasn’t physically hurt, and no one was hurt because of the damage this weekend. But if all these people gained entry through unclosed doors, who else can?
@Very true And undergrads living in dorms should remember to NEVER sign in anyone you don’t know! Also, if you see someone suspicious in teh building call Public Safety or contact an RA right away.
@i know that’s def. in the J-school. Its all really tragic… and the J-school is really small, so the student body is close and united. Im sure a tragedy like this struck everyone pretty hard.

@j-schooler please change the title. It’s inaccurate and crass. She didn’t die, and the distinction is an incredibly important one.
@it's nice of them A kind gesture from J-school students nonetheless. I hope that woman lives a normal life again after this.
@whoeverthatis whoever said that (above) is horrible and deserves to die
@Karma this is what you get for gentrifying a neighborhood

@agreed I’m broke as hell and I’ll still empty out my wallet if anyone starts up a fund for her.
@You mean You mean this what you get for NOT gentrifying enough.
@Revenge Killing the rapist is not enough.

@I hope they catch that animal and give him a true NYPD welcome at the station.

@it's a good response to a day of terrible news all around
@or maybe it’s for va. tech and not j-school related?
@verbiage The NYT article said she was in stable condition, so probably not, but you can mourn for a tragedy, can’t you?
@what? i’m not sure “mourning” is the right word if the person didn’t die.
@Anonymous but, still. call it what you want, it’s an acknowledgment. definitely j-school related.
@what? did the J-school student die?
