Pedestrians on and around campus believe they have magical powers to protect them from getting mowed down on the streets. They walk into moving traffic without any hesitation. So what if the crosswalk signal is red "the magic crosswalk will protect me".

sorry to hear this, but this does not surprise me. Whenever I have gone down there, I have noticed that the pedestrians RARELY look before they cross the street. I know that they are supposed to have the right of way, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't look before crossing the street first. You don't know if that driver is paying attention like they should. It is always better to be cautious and look rather than loaded up in an ambulance and going to the hospital.
