The women of the science center and the foot-taper

We should all aspire to the geeky open-mindedness and unflappability of Nellie Chu. A man, who wasn’t a student, went into the UC Santa Cruz science library and wandered around videotaping women’s feet. Just their feet, not any other parts of them. The first time, three women confronted him and he fled. When he came back a few days later, they called the campus police, who inspected his camera and found that “the subject of his filming seemed to be ‘feet.’” He promised never to come back.

But the best part of the article is the quote from Chu, who presumably studies science of some sort:

Graduate student Nellie Chu said she wasn’t concerned.

“It’s odd, but I don’t think there’s any need to jump to conclusions,” Chu said. “Maybe he was doing research.”
