Don't get me wrong, I believe you have every right to make a reasonable and well thought out case for your inquiry...There is nothing unexpected, nor unreasonable in asking...Will938 wrote:steve_64_d, I don't expect to write a spectacular letter and win them over. However, its better than doing nothing. Maybe we could push to have the school do something instead of leaving it up to the police. Or better yet the state legislature. As conservative as my campus is, it still seems like a long shot.
Press the issue...You are not asking to become some sort of enforcer of anything the campus police department is supposed to be providing...Your position is a personal one that shows great maturity, and you are requesting their courtesy in allowing you to take this responsibility for your safety...
I believe it is just a poor sign of the times that you have to ask permission to do this, but this is a battle that has been going on for too long, and its time we start fighting back...Enough is enough!
And if they refuse to extend a professional courtesy to you in this regard, then I would insist they enumerate why it is they feel they should not allow you to take on this personal task, and that why they believe your doing so puts others at risk, knowing what has happened recently...
Just my 2 cents...
