The Traveler

I'm sorry but this is the most ridiculous article I've read in the traveler to date. Dogs are NOT an issue. This is the first I've ever even heard of anyone being bit on campus.
If anything, responsible pet owners and dogs add to the university atmosphere.
One incident doesn't really qualify as a problem.

There sure is a lot of poop on campus though.

You know. If she had harmed or killed the dog, in self-defense, she'd be a pariah right now.

This isn't a ridiculous article by any means. A dog attack is serious and deserves to be noted. The owner fleaing is serious business. An unprovoked attack by an animal to a human is something that should not happen on campus. What if it wasn't an adult Whitney Jones, but say a child of someone?

That being said, there are dogs that are under voice command. A dog CAN be controlled, as evident by seeing-eye dogs and other uses for handicapped people, so I disagree with Cox. The problem is with the owner, and an irresponsible owner can cause serious injury if they have a large dog.

I think dogs that are deemed "chick magnets" should be allowed on campus, as this helps the male population that is handicapped on being able to talk to woman or perhaps get a date. This is pretty much anything in the Westminster "Toy Group", or a puppy, or something that can fit on a human lap and be nutured like a baby. This is a service dog for the handicapped, or the female interaction challenged male population, also known as male students enrolled in the College of Engineering.
