Purdue University Calumet Campus

We had no idea about this guard was a criminal. He apparently was arrested May 22nd for his actions earlier in the month. To make things worse, he worked the night AFTER he committed the robbery, like nothing ever happened. I saw the truck at night in the parking lot. How did Purdue let this get by them? How come they decided not to inform us? Isn't that information public to begin with?

It is reassuring that Purdue Calumet demands that outside security guards and other vendor employees go through a strict background check with their employer, but that usually doesn't mean employers will follow through on it. Are they that naive to think people will conduct such thorough investigations?

I have told my parents I am transferring. I do not feel safe here anymore. I was trying to get into their nursing program, but now I am going to commute. It is sad because I truly enjoyed this school, its faculty and staff, and the students. I will miss the relationships I have built here. However, Purdue Calumet has taught me a valuable lesson. They broke my trust and with a situation like this, how could they possible win it back?

Here is a link to the article in the local paper:

To make matters even worse, there's a sociology statistics teacher that dates students! My friend and I were walking one day a month after my domestic assault and she pointed at him and said to me that she had him as teacher for her statistics course and the two girls he was with were students she had in her current classes!What a horrible school! Go some where else! This school does not care about the safety of their students. You get what you pay for in regards to campus quality and safety.
