USC students are demanding the university beef up security after a film student was fatally stabbed yesterday in a neighborhood attack, the Los Angeles Times reports. The Idaho native was killed after an argument with a man in an apartment complex near the LA campus. A wave of anxiety has gripped the campus since the slaying—and two recent sexual assaults near university-owned housing.
Police and university officials said the recent crimes were upsetting, but stressed that the surrounding neighborhood remains mostly safe and the recent incidents did not constitute a crime wave against students.
