According to the San Bruno Police Department, there have been no new developments in the investigation of the sexual assault of a woman that occurred at Skyline on Oct. 25, 2011. The case is still under investigation.
The victim was alone in a classroom when the suspect entered and sexually assaulted her. The suspect has not been found. Skyline’s campus security was increased afterward, especially during evening classes.
However, with the onset of the new semester, campus security has been reduced to its levels prior to the assault, with campus security citing staffing issues and the fact that the assault appeared to be an isolated incident. The reduction in security was confirmed by Skyline’s Chief Public Safety Officer, Brian Tupper.
“Campus security has been lowered to its regular amount with the new semester,” Tupper said.
Some students still feel concerned about the assault on campus. JP Diaz, who thought that a higher level of security should be maintained on campus, is worried about the safety of students.
“I think that it’s pathetic that someone would attack someone else in a cowardly manner,” Diaz said. “They need to step up on security and make sure people are protected in a so-called ‘safe environment.'”
