Security. This is the top priority of most universities. Safety is important because without it, danger can cost a dear student their life as well as their financial contribution to the school. But it's even more important because if something happened to a student, it could damage the university's reputation, meaning the school would have to live with its students fearing the same thing could happen to them. For example, Brianna Denison, a resident of Reno, Nevada, was kidnapped from her friend's home. She was sexually assaulted and then murdered. (Gary C. King, "The Murder of Brianna Denison," trutv.com.) Although she did not attend the University of Nevada, Reno, she is a horrific example of the fact that even in small towns, such events like this can happen. Security is this university's number one priority, and one of our security assets, Campus Escort, is in need of some improvements to maximize the safety and security of students on campus. The exact nature of my problem is the student service, Campus Escort, which the University of Nevada, Reno offers to its students. This student service is funded by fees that students pay each semester and is similar to a taxi except that 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 as well as its opening hours this way, it will be more convenient for students and can therefore protect them as much as possible. Currently, the campus escort's hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. ("Campus Escort", Unr.edu.) However, it can only take students to or from buildings open to campus, most of which are closed at midnight. Knowing this, we should push back escort opening hours... middle of paper... be tainted. My solution to the problem is to change the campus escort's hours of operation and change some of the policies they have, one being refusing intoxicated students to take it. If we change a few things, the campus escort service can protect students and use its funds properly. In turn, 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 strengthening University security, we can attract more students and launch other construction projects with their funding. We can also receive more funding by applying for a government student safety grant. Campus Escort can impact our university in the most positive way and bury the tragic past that happened in Reno..
