The Student Government Association has recommended that $100,000 of the Student Security Fee collection be allocated to help purchase 20-45 security cameras (depending on what can ultimately be funded) to be installed in the parking lots and other various locations around the Missouri State University campus; that, for the fall 2011 semester, $22,000 of the Student Security Fee collection be allocated to fund a student-cadet program, which would include five student workers four nights a week; and that Safe Walk Services be extended to both Cherry and Elm Streets when student cadets are working.
Students have voiced concern regarding the lack of security cameras in various areas on campus, as well as an interest in extending the current limits of the Safe Walk. The student-cadet program has been a project specific to SGA’s Administrative and Information services committee, headed by Director Austin Kramer. Missouri State students pay a five dollar Student Security Fee every semester to maintain our current safety and security operations and the Safety & Transportation Department uses the money collected to make yearly improvements to campus safety and security.
