and in this case you don't have campus police doing this investigation, but charlottesville police.oing or not doing to keep all of their students safe? why aren't they the first place of recourse for students who in some way feel violated. >> that's an easy answer. because universities are -- it's a business, and you want people to go to your school, and moms and dads don't want their daughter to go to school where there's a high rape incidence. you want to protect that, maybe cover that up, because you want students to go there, so that's part of the problem. are you going to have campus police? are you going to report it? so the policies and procedures at a lot of these universities are what are in question. are you going to be for the student or for the image. >> is it getting to the point where a lot of universities may simply say, just take themselves out of this completely, and if a woman student knocks on the administration's door saying i want to complain about a sexual assault, they just say go to the police? >> i hope that's not the case. and in fact, universities have a

here in charlottesville we are equally spaced from the three nearest radar. we are at about the extreme range that the weather service likes to have for any point in the country. so we are actually seeing that affect about as much as anybody does. so we have the curvature of the earth problem. and we have the rugged terrain problem. the radar station in blacksberg -- to get to us the beam has to be -- to get to where we are on the surface it has to shoot the beam over the mountain. if they lower it reer it too much to picks up brown air we call it. so charlottesville is a good place to have a disconnect between what the radar sees higher up than what is going on on the ground. so that is probably going to con tribitute to the false alarm rate in terms of what is on the ground. you have to take these things seriously because you have nothing else >> and there is a giant radar shadow in madison county i know from experience. that is why i had you on twitter to tell me. but with the way the radar being situated it hits mountains and terrain around here people sa
