And Bryn Mawr Courts. OK they call it College Hall or the Courts or whatever now but it is STILL the same old animal house apartment building owned by Marks and Company forever. It is the corner of Montgomery Avenue and Morris Avenue in Bryn Mawr next to Shipley.
The Philadelphia Inquirer also has an article, but Philadelphia Magazine scooped all this morning.
So it’s the university, Marks & Co, and 3 defendants on the Philadelphia filed suit. As per PACER and Pacer Monitor.

So it seems like only one of the students is still in the Philadelphia area at Villanova? These guys? This is a life tank and why is Villanova not doing more to protect female students? Maybe this is why Villanova needs a better handle on off campus student housing? How many years and how many stories? And always these apartments a problem…see this from Villanovan:

Ok BOLLOCKS. If Villanova supervised off campus students ANYWHERE would there have been all the issues last weekend involving keeping Tredyffrin, Upper Merion, and Radnor police busy? And devil’s advocate time: how can Villanova supervise all of the off campus kids anyway? It’s a big school and is there even an off campus directory yet? Other schools treat off campus a little differently and some schools need students to produce where they are living off campus if they want their class schedules etc, right?
That school has a reputation of misplaced sense of entitlement from a lot of the off campus students even if all the kids aren’t like that, and legit they all aren’t. But you never hear about THOSE kids, only the problems…
And it’s NOT like sexual assaults at Villanova haven’t been reported before.
And I can’t say Villanova or some at Villanova aren’t trying to make a difference. See:

But right now it’s back to school with an explosive case of sexual assault. Maybe Marks & Company should just redo the old Bryn Mawr Courts to regular apartments. It’s a really cool old pre-war building.
Here is the Inquirer article:
A woman has sued Villanova University saying she was raped while a student in 2022 because of the school’s negligence in addressing underaged drinking and sexual abuse
The alleged assault took place on the first week of the 2022-23 school year following a party known as Sylly Night. by Abraham Gutman Published Aug. 29, 2024, 5:53 p.m. ET
Yeah and about Katzenell? He seems like to like his social media so I am surprised they can’t track him down?
Yes Villanova of course is aware. So is Lower Merion Township for that matter when it comes to off campus student housing like the old Bryn Mawr Courts.
