Whistlestop May Hurt Enrollment
Enrollment at the University of Kansas may be affected by the publicity received by Project Whistlestop, John Conard, assistant to the chancellor, said yesterday.
Alumni have questioned Conard on the seriousness of the rape problem at KU on his trips to high school honorary banquets throughout the state, Conard告了.
"I explain to them that the problem is not greater here than on any other campus," he said.
Conard said the concern among alumni was widespread, especially after an article appeared in the Kansas City Times, and that some of the reaction was very mild.
One alumnus from Overland Park with a daughter attending KU contacted Conard twice by telephone to express his concern over the issue, Conard said.
The man has another daughter who will enter college next year and Conard said the man expressed doubt that he would send her to KU.
The people that are the most disturbed are those that love the University the most and really want to send their children here, Conard said.
"Maybe by enrollment time they will be convinced that the problem is not that bad."
The publicity might be enough to sway students who are wavering between several schools.
Parents and prospective students have expressed concern through the Office of Admissions as well, according to John Myers, director of admissions.
"Our office is not critical of Project Whistlestop," he said. "We are concerned with the publicity and possible loss of students."
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said she didn't question that some people have had sex with children.
"It is terrifying unfortunate if people think the ailment is worse than it is, really," she said.
The dean of women's office would be glad to answer questions to clear up any misconceptions people may have gotten from recent publicity, according to Taylor. She said rape is a national problem, not just sexual assault. She does doing something about it are the safest.
"We're trying to make Lawrence as safe as humanly possible," Taylor said.
