My alma mater had a really gross incident occur yesterday. In case you haven’t heard, a creepy old goof ball was arrested at Monmouth University yesterday for planting a video camera in the men’s locker room. What a filthy, disgusting scumbag this jerkoff was, huh?
There are so many issues here that it’s not even easy to discuss all of them in one sitting. Why was this creepy old bastard allowed to join the gym at Monmouth University if he wasn’t an alumnus and wasn’t local to the university? For those of you that don’t know, he wasn’t from the local area.
Further, why was he allowed on campus in the first place if he had an old access card? If the guy’s sole purpose is to go to the gym because he’s a “member” and his card indicating that membership is expired…then shouldn’t he NOT be on campus?!
And what really pisses me off is the reaction that one of the students had to the entire thing:
“Doesn’t bother me,” he said. “I really don’t care.”
That pretty much sums up 99% of the students that I’ve ever met while at Monmouth University or that I’ve met since I’ve become an alumni advisor to my fraternity at Monmouth University. I deal with kids who go to school all over this state and virtually none of them would have had that completely uncaring reaction. And good Lord, if I had my way I’d take this pervert and give him a few minutes with some of those guys that he so desperately wanted to see naked.
I have no problem with the fact that this weirdo likes dudes, but I have a HUGE problem with him invading the privacy of these unsuspecting students to get off. That’s just disgusting and I hope he get what he deserves.
Don’t base the entire university on one student’s comment. I attend MU, and most students thought the incident was gross…in other words, they did care, regardless of whether they use the gym or not.
If you no longer attend the school, then you don’t hear the day-to-day reactions that current students do. So cut us a break, please.
I no longer go to school at Monmouth University (thank God, one’s wallet can only take so much of a pounding), but I do have the privilege of advising a fraternity on campus which allows me to be on campus weekly (sometimes twice a week or more).
There should be a mass student outrage at this event – people should be petitioning the school to increase security given this event (and now you can add in the tragedy at VT). After a certain hour, people can come and go as they please from the university – not good.
And that’s not just a commentary on Monmouth – it’s like that at most college campuses. Unfortunately, in a world where scumbags like this pervert can get away with getting his jollies off by planting cameras in a locker room, you need increased security. Period.
It should also be noted that a similar situation just took place up at Seton Hall (not sexual in nature as this obviously was, but where a camera was placed in a private residence to record private activity). So yes, this crap is going on all over the place.
It’s sad, really.
