A string of attacks on Asian students at NYU leaves community members worried and seeking answers from their university.
NYU’s Campus Safety Department reported the incidents to the NYPD and is operating under the assumption that the three attacks on Asian students were motivated by racism and are connected in some way, but Beckman says it’s not a certainty.
The university has plans to increase campus security patrols, and add better lighting and more cameras around Washington Square Park. “No representative from NYU has reached out to me asking how I am feeling physically and emotionally after suffering from this horrific hate crime assault,” he said. “How little effort NYU put in supporting and giving us support made me very disappointed.”
“I understand that it’s a slow and long process to change the system,” he said. “But the fact that this suspect is still committing crimes in the middle of campus, and any student can become a possible victim is not letting us feel safe to walk on campus anymore.”
