Recently it was made known to the campus that decisions had been made at the administrative level to arm a portion of RIT's Public Safety on campus in anticipation of a possible dangerous situation. It has been made known that these long guns would not be used in any situation other than one in which there is an armed intruder on campus attempting to harm students and faculty.
I'm not going to comment on whether or not I agree with the decision to arm Public Safety and train them in the use of guns because, ultimately, I don't know that having guns on campus will make RIT's campus any safer or more dangerous...
