How to make campus a safer haven

Article Abstract:

Universities are using a combination of traditional policing and technology such as security cameras to boost security for students and staff. Universities are taking the measures in order to maintain security and a feeling of safety for their students, and also to help lecturers, many of whom have been threatened and abused by students, feel more secure in their work environment. However, university security managers acknowledge that there is only so much they can do to protect staff and students and that the dramatic expansion of universities over the past 15 years has made many of them much harder to police.

Managers claim right to search staff as they tighten campus rules

Article Abstract:

Lawyers and human resources experts have warned that academics face the prospect of campus stop-and-search policies being implemented as commercial security measures and employment practices are being increasingly employed by university managers trying to combat rising campus violence, theft and drug use. The remarks come in the aftermath of the outrage expressed by lecturers' union Natfhe to declaration by Liverpool Hope University College that it has the right to search academic staff and their property if the college believes that the member of staff is breaching college rules and regulations.

Crackdown on campus

Article Abstract:

Universities in the UK could be forced to provide the security services with details on student and academic applications and will be expected to keep track of academic debates on campus as a result of a series of initiatives taken by the Government in the aftermath of the London terrorist attacks on 7 July 2005. Universities in the UK already operate under a voluntary system under which universities alert the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to overseas research applicants suspected of planning to develop weapons of mass destruction, but this system could now be made compulsory.
