Security. This is the top priority for most universities. Safety is important because without it, danger can take the life of a beloved student along with their financial contribution to the school. But it is even more important because if something were to happen to a student it could compromise the reputation of the University, meaning that the school would have to live with its students in fear that the same thing could happen to them too. For example, Brianna Denison, a resident of Reno, Nevada, was kidnapped from her friend's house. She was sexually assaulted and then killed. (Gary C. King, “The Murder of Brianna Denison,” trutv.com.) Although he did not attend the University of Nevada, Reno, he is a horrific prime example that even in small towns, events like this can occur. Security is the number one priority for this university and one of our security resources, Campus Escort, needs some improvements to maximize the safety and security of students on campus. The exact nature of my problem is the student service, Campus Escort, that the University of Nevada, Reno provides to its students. This student service is funded by a fee that students pay each semester and resembles a taxi, except it can only travel within a two-mile radius of the school. This service should have more funding and should change some of its policies along with opening hours so it is more convenient for students and can better protect them. Currently the Campus Escort opening hours are from 5pm to 1am ("Campus Escort", Unr.edu.). However, it can only take students to or from open buildings on campus, most of which are closed by midnight. Knowing this we should postpone the escort times s...... middle of paper ...... be contaminated. My solution to the problem is to change Campus Escort's opening hours and change some of the policies they have, including denying drunk students from taking it. If we change some minor things, the campus escort service can protect students and use their funds correctly. On the other hand, if we provide students with the safety and security they deserve, we can give the University a more positive image and show the country that we acted at the cost of Brianna Denison's life. By increasing the security of the University we can attract more students and start more construction projects with the help of their funding. We can also receive more funding by asking the government for a contribution towards student safety. Campus Escort can have a positive impact on our University and bury the tragic past that happened in Reno.
