I used to work at a college. We had active shooter training for all employees. We implemented emergency alert notification systems. We had the blue poles with emergency buttons around campus. We had regular fire and tornado drills. In addition to our campus police office, we had a “safety officer” designated for each building/area in case of an emergency. We complied with the Clery Act. If I was working late and didn’t feel safe walking to my car, I could call the campus police to escort me. We had campus police coverage 24/7.

I often read complaints on CC about the cost of higher education. Campus safety is part of that cost.
