A friend sent me this email which came from her university:
Recently, concerns have been raised by members of our community about incidents that have targeted our students based on their race or ethnicity. We, too, are deeply concerned about these incidents. Our University is constantly striving to create a community that embraces diversity and fosters a climate of respect, tolerance, inclusiveness, fairness, civility and safety. We must not and will not tolerate actions that serve to target or intimidate members of our community based on race, ethnicity, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, religious or political belief, national origin, or other personal characteristics. When we learn of such incidents, we have a responsibility to address them promptly through education and dialogue and, where appropriate, disciplinary sanction or criminal prosecution.
We have no doubt that incidents of bias are more common in our community than official reports would indicate. It also seems clear that we could do a better job of communicating to students and other community members the processes and support structures that already exist for reporting hate-related incidents and directing community members toward campus resources. We have asked our staff to pull together a more comprehensive communications effort to achieve this goal and make our processes more transparent and accessible.

Campus security in most schools do NOT carry firearms. NJIT, which is situated dead smack between Newark PD, Rutgers PD, and NJIT PD, have had cases where students were ROBBED AT GUNPOINT at night when walking through lit areas to the parking complex.
If students of legal age with CCWs were allowed to carry on campus grounds, there would be less crime. Worried about walking from class to class at night? Not a problem... concealed carry Glock 19 with tactical light and night sights.
It would be even better if the bill passes allowing deadly force without retreating to your registered domicile.
