Wow!!! I am in shock about the lack of security on this campus. I would think that the school officials would take more precautions with locking the building for security purposes. If not to ensure the security of electronic equipment and chemicals, but the safety of personal information for the staff and especially the students. It makes me nervous to think that my personal information could be accessed by someone's lack of responsibility...it is pure laziness!!! What if some unstable individual decided to use the chemicals that were found, to cause harm to people while attending their classes. This is serious and needs to be addressed immediately!!!

There used to be a time that security personnel performed "rounds". This included checking buildings to make sure all doors were secure, on a periodic basis with their progress noted on a sheet called a "report". This procedure was not performed while sitting in a campus patrol car - the officer had to WALK up to the door and physically check - not visually inspect from 25 yards away. I am concerned with the welfare of students. Equipment can be replaced, but if some nutcase decides to compromise the safety of students for their own agenda, I feel it is imperative that these security breaches are addressed immediately.

If weather and occupational safety are an issue, security can use a couple of those electric golf carts which can be driven literally to arm's reach of a building door.
