" , Crimes Under The Rug Last weekend's arrests of two Conn students for second-degree burglary has created many rumors on campus. The College's failure to provide information about the situation r .has left students in the dark, questioning the specifics of the incident. The way the College has responded to the issue, by essentially keeping it a secret, is concerning and Inconsistent with the way that it has addressed other issues that have threatened the safe- ty of the campus.

· In the past, whenever a bias incident or hate crime has occurred, College officials have usually responded with an all-campus e-mail disclosing what was known of the event - and rightfully so. Therefore, it is ironic that after an incident occurs that directly affects students, the College remains silent.

.' The Voice recognizes that last weekend's incident is a sensitive matter, and knows that the College cannot simply provide full disclosure. While respecting the principles of pri- .vacy, the Voice strongly feels that it is important for the College to provide students with information about such important developments on campus. An Incident that directly affects members of the student body in such a manner that leads to arrests should warrant some level of public response by the College. _.-. · In .the spirit of an open community that prides itself on shared governance, the admin- istration needs to remain consistent in the way that it responds to matters affecting the campus community. There appears to be no logical reason why some campus incidents G receive public ~nn.ouncement by the College while others are swept underneath the rug. As long as the incident has an impact on students and raises concern among the campus community, it should be disclosed in some manner to the student body.
