Wartburg College is updating it’s security. Last month, multiple female students reported a male classmate was breaking into their dorm rooms and bathrooms. Dean of Students Dr. Dan Kittle says the young man was going into unlocked rooms watching, even touching some of the female students while they were sleeping or showering. That student is no longer enrolled, but his actions have left an impact on the school and its students. Hundreds attended a school forum, demanding change. Wartburg is installing card scanners on the doors of every single community-shared bathroom and shower in the dorms, and 15 new cameras will be running by next week. The young man has not been charged yet as school officials say the investigation is ongoing.
