What’s happening to our schools and cities? This is disheartening. Reply CampusEmployee October 29, 2023 - 8:04 pm Working around campus has felt less and less safe over the months. Hope they really mean it about upping the security. Reply JaneQPublic October 29, 2023 - 9:55 pm So now they’re “pledging to increase security”? Should’ve done that a long time ago, if you ask me. Reply PolicyWatcher October 30, 2023 - 3:53 am Another incident that highlights the need for stricter gun control laws, maybe then we wouldn’t have so many shootings.
