Lights out at the Priory
There have been issues at the Priory with lighting. For residents who live at the Priory, if they're coming back from Main Campus after a night studying, for example; they don't feel safe in the unlit area outside. Some students feel that Physical Plant is neglecting the Priory compared to the Main Campus when it comes to having enough lighting at night at the Priory. While most of the activity happens at the Main Campus, there is a growing number of residents living at the Priory with the housing crunch - shouldn't a change be made already? Or is it in the works?

As a commuter from Oak Park, I can completely relate to the issue of safety when arriving home late at night. Recently I was robbed and my car was broken into just blocks from DU. Crime, specifically armed and unarmed burglaries, in Oak Park, according to an article from the Wednesday Journal, has increased 250 percent last eight months. This is a serious concern, especially for single women traveling alone or with another woman. Athough these stats are for Oak Park, River Forest should be just as concerned.
So yes, to answer your question, Diana, the Physical Plant people need to take this into consideration and turn the lights on.
