Department of Public Safety Chief Steven Ward said he defines domestic violence on campus more broadly than how the law describes domestic violence.

"In the university community, domestic violence is any violence that occurs in a relationship between people who have a close or intimate living relationship," he said. A recent case of domestic violence received national attention, when a senior at the University of Michigan was killed by her boyfriend. According to the school's paper, The Michigan Daily, the boyfriend was gunned down by school officers on Sept. 22 after stabbing his girlfriend repeated- fy- According to 1996 FBI statistics, 30 percent of all homicides against females are committed by the female's partner. In the case of the Michigan student, a restraining order had been issued against her boyfriend in 1995. Ward said USC has approximately three to four active restraining orders filed on campus at any given time. DPS also responds to 15 to 20 official cases of gender violence each year, although only about 15 percent of all cases of domestic violence are reported, he said.

"Marvin will particularly help illuminate local government," said Jane Pisano, dean of the School of Public Administration.
