Freedom vs. Fear The Open Campus Debate

The continued increase of gun violence in the U.S. is a public-health crisis, impacting numerous communities, including colleges and universities nationwide. College campuses are open by design, welcoming spaces for learning, freedom, and community, with the recent tragic campus shootings at Brown University, where an unidentified person walked into an open university door, killing 2 students and injuring 9 people in another mass shooting at Brown University. A week ago at Kentucky State University, a 48-year-old parent walked on the campus, killing one student and critically injuring another.

But they can also create challenges when it comes to security, emergency response, and student safety. Whether you’re a student, faculty member, parent, or simply part of the community.
