  1. Carthage is not a secure campus, and they downplay incidents like this. After the assault in May,2024, we learned only one of the entrances has cameras. That non-student assaulter also got into the school building. Tried to talk to Swallow, but he refused to meet with us.

    1. Carthage has always hidden the crap that occurs there. They think the Clery Act does not apply to them. They only report things if it affects the “rich kids” or makes them look bad.

      1. Yes, they are a very arrogant school.But none the less as much as they charge for tuition you would think they would have better security.Everyone has cameras nowadays. It’s essential for safety…unfortunately.

      1. Does your “diverse culture” support sexual assault? Based on your response, it sure does sound like you’re indicating that both you and Carthage have a culture that encourages sexual assault and if that is the case, you should be expelled and Carthage should be shut down!

    1. first time I’ve ever seen that description. He does not look white, hispanic, or asian to me…. Maybe KPD will start using that when they run a name through dispatch now? He’s a male tan, date of birth 05/05/99…
