With fall semester’s uptick in crime on and near the University of Minnesota campus, some University employees are concerned for their safety.
In response, some faculty and staff members are turning to self-defense classes to help them feel more comfortable on campus.
Journalism assistant professor Giovanna Dell’Orto said she organized a women’s self-defense class for her colleagues last semester because she became worried about crime, particularly armed robberies, on and near campus.
