DURHAM, N.H. -- University of New Hampshire President Mark Huddleston says he was disappointed that students who witnessed an assault on one of their peers walked by without stopping to help.
Police are still investigating the incident, which happened late on Halloween and involved as many as five people kicking and punching a 21-year-old male student, who suffered significant injuries to his face and torso.
Foster's Daily Democrat reports that Huddleston wrote to the school's newspaper saying that aside from the victim's injuries, what disturbed him most was that so witnesses did nothing. He says he doesn't expect people to put themselves in harm's way to break up a fight, but the fact that many ignored it was unacceptable.
