MERCER LAW SCHOOL — MEMORANDUM — LAW SCHOOL SECURITY
Dear Students,
I am writing to let you know of certain changes in building hours that go into effect starting tomorrow, August 1. Those changes and others that I will describe below are designed to help provide you with an extra measure of assurance that the law school is a place where you can study, attend classes, engage in extracurricular activities, and more without serious concern about the security of your person and property.
Not surprisingly, although Lauren Giddings’s terrible death occurred away from the law school and bore no logical relation to the level of security in the law school building or on the law school grounds, it prompted a number of students to write to me and other members of the administration urging us to think carefully about whether the law school is providing as much security as it should. I took those student expressions of concerns very seriously. Within a week of the discovery of Lauren’s death, I had had various meetings and conversations about law school security with members of the law school senior staff and faculty, a number of students here for summer school or recent graduates here studying for the bar, several alumni, the campus police chief and one of his officers, an experienced police officer for the city, and the Mercer president and members of his administration.
