Not nearly as bad, but we have security problems in our chem separtment. People leave their bags and things in 3 joining rooms, all of which need swipe card entry and have at least a couple of people in each room at all hours. How things get stolen, especially since they know who the main culprit is (not a student either), is a mystery.
Also, on our residential campus one guy once came in and stole 3 or 4 laptops, in one go. So people not only had their doors unlocked, but even physically open, while they weren't in there. Even so, for someone to have the balls to enter rooms (just because the door is open doesn't mean the room is empty) and to leave with an armful of laptops is disturbingly impressive.
On the sexual harassment front, I knew a guy with a very promising standing (both academically and in the wider uni community) who was expelled because he was in a room alone with a girl and she called rape. Did he do it? Maybe. Can anyone prove it? His word against hers. I reckon it was an overreaction, but something like this is probably better to overreact than undereact... until it happens to me, that is.
