LSU students said the university president's response was 'inexcusable' after Madison Brooks, a 19-year-old sophomore, was allegedly raped then fatally struck by a car.
Madi Brooks' high school friend Ashley Odak joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss what Brooks was like and how she wants the world to remember her friend.
Brooks and the four men she was with – three of whom are underage – were served alcohol the night of Jan. 15, according to court documents, before she was allegedly raped by two of them and dropped off on the side of a nearby highway where she was fatally struck by a car.The College Democrats of LSU and Feminists in Action sent a letter to Tate, which was obtained by Fox News Digital, that said his action plan"falls short" of consoling a grieving and"fearful" student body.
Tate's message was"directed at perpetrators and establishments that enable them to weaponize alcohol against our students," said Cody Worsham, the interim vice president of LSU's Office of Communications and University Relations. LSU bills itself as an elite university with a reputation for excellence, where the cost of attendance can top $50,000 a year. Amy Glenn, who said her goddaughter is an LSU student who was beaten and tased by a random attacker near Reggie's in 2021, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that the university's response to Brooks' death – and other crimes around the bars – has been"disgusting.
The area is populated by several bars, a couple of mini-marts, a liquor store and smoke shop, but it's technically municipal property and not an official extension of LSU, although Glenn wants to see it treated as such.
