Although the neon yellow-green vests of safety patrols have become a familiar sight on campus at night, students and safety escorts say most undergraduates have yet to make the week-old Harvard University Campus Escort Program (HUCEP) a part of their daily routine...

Students cannot be expected to utilize the escort program if the phone number for the hotline is buried on an obscure website. The College needs to alert students more effectively about their safety options so that they can take better advantage of them...
