Go into the police in Daytona, ask to speak to officers who handle stalking cases, lay out everything for them, and see if you have enough for them to pursue stalking charges. Campuses are notoriously bad about protecting students until something bad happens, and then they back pedal, unless they can find a way to distance themselves. I would not rely on campus security. You could also visit a family law attorney in Daytona who handles this type of case.

The bar association for Volusia County, website http://www.volusiabar.org/, may be able to help you locate an attorney. Also, .tThe website contains, in the Resource and Links section, a link to the legal aid programs for the area.

Additionally, I would contact local Rape Crisis Center and see if they can make some calls for you and send the President of the University a certified letter with return receipt and advise them that if something happens to you, that you will be taking legal action against the university for their failure to take reasonable steps to protect a student.
