University Of Nevada-Reno Currently Ranks an F on Safety According to the American School Search, Meaning our fellow students are consistently at risk. Despite this fact, the University Of Nevada Reno bans students from carrying tasers as well as pepper spray.
Between 2019-2021 according to the required crime report released by the university, the campus had a total of 33 rape cases
The lack of ability for students to have basic self defense methods will only cause this average number of cases to rise. Returning the decision to carry a taser or pepper spray on campus to the students will allow us, the students, to have a safer experience during our time here.
We demand that students be allowed to have unrestricted access on campus (including but not limited to, administrative offices and buildings, classrooms, dining halls, and exercise facilities) to arm themselves with tasers and pepper spray.
