="TomSrOfBoston;22571235]Boston University had, or maybr still has, a panic button at the FA receptionist’s desk. It summons campus police in the event of a parental meltdown.

I had a panic button under my desk, as did my colleagues. At a different school, the panic button was activated right on the computer screen; all employees in enrollment services had access to the panic button. I would not have felt comfortable without one. We live in an unpredictable world, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.
