… context. You look at a school like Syracuse University, which had a bad on-campus brawl early Sunday morning (major fighting; several arrests), and you ask yourself What else?

Meh. I’ve worked on several campuses, urban and suburban, and Syracuse’s doesn’t strike me as particularly fraught.

I always felt much more wary when I was at Penn.
