<p>Of all of the top ten or eleven senior admins, only Pat Haden has walked the streets around USC as an undergrad late at night. I recall stupidly posting fliers at 3 a.m. one semester for my student group. Decades later I still know where I’d post security guards. If indeed Nikias is incapacitated, now is a propitious opportunity to give Haden the reins. He’ll know how to protect all USC students year round. I’m fuming that USC has a barricade around campus yet a broken off campus security system. What an ivory tower the admins live in…</p>
<p>P.S.: I’d post lit signage that cameras are recording one’s movements, employ drones and security robots that record at night, and make security perform military style watches I and others did in the Army. I’d also let the public know by signage that they are entering a USC safe zone. One of the best outcomes of this tragedy is that bad kids now realize they are being recorded when they venture into the USC security zone.</p>
