Security under-staffed due to university budget - Soha Khan, the Drury Mirror

There have been several budget cuts made throughout different departments on campus and the Drury Safety and Security department is no exception. The idea of there being cuts made in this department may incite some concern among the student body, but as clarified by the Director of Safety and Security Sarene Deeds,”There aren’t any changes. We are just short staffed like many other departments on campus.” Currently the security department is short three security officers. Although these are the only consequences of the budget cuts, they may have some implications on the security of students on campus. Being short-staffed means that there will be only one officer on duty per shift in most cases. Therefore, students may have to wait longer than usual to receive help if they lock themselves out or if they call security in case of any suspicious activity. http://drurymirror.org/2014/03/28/security-under-staffed-due-to-university-budget-cuts/
