    I work in a maximum security prison. As someone who has sprayed many people with these chemicals I can tell you one thing. It all depends on the persons state of mind when you spray them. It might work, at best.

    could you lady not talk to some of the decent students on the campus
    (which are almost certainly the majority)
    if she explained the situations to students she works with regularly and has thus established a decent relationship, then she may get half a dozen or more offers of an escort to her car of an evening

    you do not need official security to get from your place of work to a car
    you only need 2 or 3 decent sized people, who are prepared to sacrifice a few minutes of their time to provide an escort

    just a different way of possibly handling the situation

    I'm amazed they don't have more security since that is the case. I'd be raising holy heck about that.
