To determine whether there has been a significant change in the approach to campus security since Sept. 11th – and to provide a yardstick against which campus security directors can measure their own efforts – FJC Security Services Inc. of New York commissioned a survey of security directors at campuses nationwide. Representing schools ranging from small community colleges to major universities, 90 respondents from at least 37 states participated.
Another central challenge faced by campus law enforcement is in providing heightened security while preserving the openness, access and freedom of movement that are traditional hallmarks of institutions of higher learning.
