<p>I am not sure as to whether this information paints JHU in a good light or otherwise. Do parents and students really want to attend school where so many security precautions are necessary? What about personal privacy? I realize that safety is an issue at many universities, especially those located in urban areas, but this example of heightened security strikes me as an excessive intrusion of students’ personal privacy that might result in unwarranted encounters with police and campus security.</p>
