Letter: Camera safety benefits outweigh privacy concerns
(11/19/02 5:00am)
After reading the article on Campus Council's discussion of cameras in residence halls, I feel I must share my disappointment in the views that some of our student leaders are taking on the issue. First, campus safety in general is distinct from residence hall safety. The former is a concern of all Duke students while the latter effects only half our campus. No male student has ever woken up having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night only to have to stay in bed long enough so that the chance of being attacked or raped is diminished.
