Security
Policy reform a big step forward
We would like to commend the university's procedures committee and Ken Zick, the vice president of Student Life and Instructional Resources, for their recent amendments to the Off-Campus Security Policy and congratulate the students who saw a problem, took the initiative to get it fixed and followed through until action was taken.
The Gym Jam policy, which previously had the appearance of racial inequality, has been altered to feature security comparable to that of weekly fraternity parties. A student group of seniors Sabrina Parker, Jordan Wagner, Jared Klose and Lee Anne Quattrucci investigated the policy and catalyzed the change. They are a testament to others to do the same. The former Security Policy was antiquated and needed reforming. We have undergone serious growth at the university, and now, more than ever, older policies should be continually reviewed and changed as deemed necessary. The Gym Jam policy was one such case, and the lessened security is an encouragement to all parties involved. Furthermore, we believe it was the best decision to allow students the option of more security at parties if they feel it is necessary. This is one example that of effective communication between students and administration and we encourage both parties to continue on this path of improving our university together. |
