UNI Gets Money to Help Reduce Violent Crime
September 13, 2007--Because of recent attacks in Iowa City, and on the
University of Northern Iowa campus, UNI is getting nearly one-million dollars to
help reduce violent crimes against women.
The U.S. Department of Justice awarded the money to the university as part of a
project that includes Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. The
money will be used to create a campus violence-prevention task-force.
Other changes include enhancing services for victims, implementing prevention
and education programs, and strengthening security and investigation strategies.
