City parks at night are dangerous. A walk in Morningside Park has always been considered to be a ticket to hell.
What the hell kind administrators do they have at Barnard these days. Morningside Park is a no go zone. Shame on Barnard for not clueing in clueless students.
The kind that tell students white feminists are immune to criminal acts because they are fighting for social justice and reparations.
Sad how many muggers just don't seem to respect those beliefs.
For many years after the controversy over the Columbia gym project in the 1970s, the sidewalk where she was killed was separated from Morningside Park by a 10 ft chain link fence topped by razor wire. I guess in DelBlasio’s NY, they took it down. But even back when Dinkins was mayor, Barnard never warned their incoming freshmen about the off-campus dangers. In those days, when Morningside Park was off limits, it was Riverside Park between 96th and 116th St that was the site of a lot of muggings, assaults and rapes each academic year....with naive young Barnard and Columbia girls, just out for a “nice walk in the park”, paying the price.
