 <\/p>\n

Rode: Safety lighting walk ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!! 28 people or more are coming!!! Public safety\u00a0knows we\u2019re doing this so they wont respond to every blue light. Senators be professional, VERY\u00a0PROFESSIONAL. Speaker systems allegedly does not work that well so that\u2019s something to look out\u00a0for. Also please please please show up 10-15 mins early so that way we\u2019re all here on time. Response
\ntime is supposedly two and a half mins for a blue light. Also note if you can\u2019t see a blue light from one,\u00a0we\u2019re not going to order 30 blue lights but it\u2019s a good thing to note. Also October 18th\u00a0I\u2019m meeting with a lady who works with public safety to help come up with a safety plan.<\/p>\n

Cody: we need a better response system, like the alert system is ineffective, place for people to go if
\nthey\u2019re outside.<\/p>\n

Pav: last year the schools Internet and cell service basically collapsed something to look into.<\/p>\n

Yip: URI actually outsources the servers for the emergency alert system<\/p>\n

Rode: Dr. Dooley said they helped fix that, also going off of Cody that is a big issue that we should look
\ninto, last year no one knew what was happening<\/p>\n

Hetland: I don\u2019t know maybe they could go to the police station it\u2019s the only safe building I can think of<\/p>\n

Yip: expand the alert system to faculty<\/p>\n

Rode: Senator Schaffer also said that Uri is VERY far away from the nearest hospital and EMS doesn\u2019t
\ntrain for a high alert thing such as a school shooting<\/p>\n

Yip: what did Virginia tech student body do after what happened? (Definitely something to look into).<\/p>\n

Morgan: in Uri 101 you take the alcohol awareness thing why not make it emergency alert oriented as
\nwell.<\/p>\n

Hetland: are they hiring more Uri police?<\/p>\n

Cody\/Pav: at the forum, we believe they said they are hiring 3 more officers<\/p>\n

Rode: Next week senate is issuing our opinion on arming campus police. How do we feel about this?<\/p>\n

Hetland: I see both sides to it and it is a difficult subject. I mean Uri isn\u2019t a high crime campus, but if\u00a0something happens like Chaffee then they may need it. Pav: like I said at the forum having live ammo in the station isn\u2019t bad that way they have if they need it, and the risk of an accidental shooting on an innocent student is almost none. Otherwise the risk of an\u00a0accidental shooting is very high it takes one intoxicated student to do something stupid and cost them\u00a0their life.<\/p>\n

Cody: they should take a safe zone training of some sort, the sociology professor at the forum had some\u00a0good points about racial discrimination.<\/p>\n

Underwood: having weapons is a valuable resource even if we don\u2019t use them, other police stations may
\nneed back up at times and we can help out if needed<\/p>\n

Hetland: decision should be made by Uri, South Kingston, and state police they have the experience necessary to help make an informed decision. The State police said we should arm our police if they say it\u2019s a good idea then their experience is a good thing to support.<\/p>\n

Rode: the bill can be written many different ways saying senate supports it on the grounds that they\u00a0undergo diversity training and arms training. Or we don\u2019t support it cause of XZY,\u00a0Cody: why not open up a survey monkey to ALL of Uri to gain an understanding of what their opinion is. Its something a lot of people should have an opinion<\/p>\n

Rode: I\u2019ll talk to Kilduff about it, but that\u2019s a good idea<\/p>\n

Yip: I\u2019d stress more psych evaluations and training<\/p>\n

Underwood: can\u2019t we have a \u201chow strongly do you feel about arming campus police\u201d scale of 1-10 sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Cody: I say keep it as basic as possible, I feel that black and white answers will help us the best<\/p>\n

Rode: I\u2019m going to look into sending out the survey monkey over the list serve<\/p>\n

Cody: yeah it should be on the floor for Wednesday the second we get approval for it<\/p>\n

Pav: no the more it sits the more info we can grab and make a better bill and a stronger opinion for the
\nstudent body which is what we as senators represent.<\/p>\n

Hetland: getting all the info shouldn\u2019t take more than three days, COME PREPARED TO THE MEETING.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
