A State University of New York-Albany student was recently shot once in the head while walking to his apartment off campus.

Around the same time, according to Gannett, a state audit revealed that two-thirds of SUNY’s four-year schools reported crime statistics to the federal government that conflicted with on-campus records, and some didn’t disclose serious crimes like forcible sex offenses and burglaries.

The specifics regarding this audit suggest incredibly sloppy oversight and outright negligence by campus administrators. And where was the system’s state board of trustees throughout this failure to accurately and thoroughly alert the public to these harmful criminal acts?

For shame.
