With the shootings at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University in the past 1.5 years, college students across the country recognize violence and assault can happen at any place and at any time. Many colleges and universities are taking one extra safety measure by installing blue-light phones that come equipped with flashing lights and a public address system administrators can use to notify students of campus emergencies all throughout their campuses. Such schools YOUR INSIGHTS include Grand Rapids Community College and Hope College, which implemented the kiosks within the past year. But despite other schools’ extra security, GVSU still Should GVSU install security phones refuses to jump on the bandwagon and install these security phones. Administrators say they are not necessary as other across campus? schools are more “urban, ” while GVSU sits in the rural fields of Allendale. However, NIU’s campus is very similar to Allendale, and the NIU community unfortunately learned that not all violence takes place in the city.
