Doubt all you want, its your kid’s safety, I am outa here soon enough. That said, I have been in a unique position to view most of what goes on here without having to worry about my job or being indoctrinated into the “company” mentality…not only have I seen all of this but I get to clean up after it too. I can only present you with the facts, its your job to use them.

All in all I would say the campus is safe, however I know that if it were to become unsafe that there is no plan, no effective contingency in place to mitigate a rapidly evolving threat. The campus is safe by virtue of its rural location and small student body combined with a good helping of dumb luck.

The absence of your own negative experiance is evidence of exactly nothing. In fact, blind ignorance of your type (in this particular instance), this perpetual plea of “everything will be alright if I shut my eyes and yell loud enough”, is exactly what the problem is here, and elsewhere for that matter. Do you walk around saying, “Gee wiz, nothing bad could ever happen to me”, and when confronted with the possibility you completely discount the claim? I don’t expect you take what I say as gospel, but why call me a liar? What do I have to gain?

Some nights it feels like the crack infested ghetto, other days are tolerable. I’m not here to bash anyone, only to relay what I have seen. With some administrative changes Ursinsu has the location, faculty, staff and facilities to be a great school. I have never seen such blatant disregard for the safety of students and staff however, and I don’t think I will ever be able to get past that disregard. It is very telling insofar as thier priorities.
