Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Interesting subtle victim blaming here:

 

dispelling fears that a random killer had come to campus. 

 

Seems to say that domestic violence victims don’t deserve as much attention or empathy as random violence victims.

Woman found dead in college men's bathroom Woman found slain in San Diego college restroom

 

 SAN DIEGO

 

 A 19-year-old woman found slain in a men's bathroom at San Diego City College appeared to be the victim of   domestic    violence , school officials said, dispelling fears that a random killer had come to campus. 

 

  A student found the woman's body shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday and notified a teacher, police said. Investigators Wednesday morning were retracing her steps.

 

 Police would not say how the woman was killed and were withholding her name.

 

 The woman's parents had reported her missing when she did not return home after a Tuesday night class, homicide detective Kevin Rooney told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

 

 Jasmin Perez told the newspaper that the woman was her cousin Diana Gonzalez, of National City, and she has an 8-month-old daughter. Perez said Gonzalez wanted to be a nurse and was taking general education classes.
