Boston University

In our opinion, the administration at Boston University has demonstrated leadership through honestly assessing campus crime problems and candidly informing its customers (students and parents) of the situation. The result is that informed students take precautions and campus security performs deliberately. Overall, the campus becomes an environment where faculty and students can excel in the pursuit of education.

Christy Brzonkala

Christy found the inner courage and strength to testify before a Congressional Subcommittee about her rape by two football players at Virginia Technical Institute in 1994. Christy's personal ordeal was exacerbated by Provost Peggy Meszaros's when she reduced Tony Morrison's two semester suspension for "sexual misconduct" to merely a one-hour counseling session for "using abusive language". Meszaros's decision suspiciously enabled Morrison to play in the 1996 Sugar Bowl.

Margaret Jakobson

Margaret has been a campus safety advocate and pursued truth in crime reports since the rape of one of her team-mates at Moorhead State University in 1992. After several years of tracking and questioning Moorhead's campus crime statistics, Margaret filed the first Campus Security Act violation complaint with the Department of Education. Also, Margaret has provided compassionate help to sexual assault victims who have have been denied justice at MSU.
