Does A&T need more security on campus?

With everything that happened during AggieFest week, do you think we need more security on campus? Although we have our own police station, it still seems as though the campus isn't safe enough. Being an open campus allows for lots of local people and randoms to just roam the campus. They have been known to start trouble, cause fights, get our events shut down, and even sexually harass our students. Aggie Suites had three incidents where female students were sexually harassed after dark by a person that doesn't even attend the school. It is insane that we can't walk freely on our campus without feeling safe and secure. During GHOE is when extra security is needed especially. There are people out here that will take advantage of every bad opportunity just because it sounds fun to them. I would hate to see our students get hurt over senseless acts of violence. I think the university needs to take action and actually consider hiring extra security.

  1. I strongly agree with you on this one because there have been too many instances of our students getting robbed, assaulted, and harassed by those who are not even permitted to be on this campus. However, hiring extra security will likely increase our tuition but in order to ensure our safety, I am willing to pay the increase.

  2. We do need more securities on campus, because locals are causing a lot of problems. Like, I am not comfortable being around all of this violence.

  3. Yes I agree. This year alone there have been lots of people who been on campus causing problems and those people are not even students here. Seeing as the school is not place in the best of neighborhoods a little bit more security would be efficient.

  4. I do believe we need more security on campus but, in my opinion that would not prevent some of the bad situations from happening.
