Brown University Implements Campus Security Overhaul in Wake of Shooting
“immediate actions will include increased public safety staffing across campus, and continued use of card access, keys or ID checks for building entry”
It’s too bad that it took such a horrible incident to make this happen.

Brown University implements campus-wide security overhaul after mass shooting leaves 2 dead, 9 wounded
Following the Dec. 13 mass shooting at Brown University, school officials Tuesday announced new safety measures, including installing security cameras inside the Barus and Holley engineering and physics building where 11 students were shot, including two fatally.
In a letter to the community, Brown University Department of Public Safety interim vice president Hugh T. Clements Jr. said immediate actions will include increased public safety staffing across campus, and continued use of card access, keys or ID checks for building entry.
He added that before the Spring 2026 semester, university police will transition remaining buildings using key access to card access, expand blue-light phones with cameras, install security cameras in key locations, including the Barus and Holley buildings, and expand panic buttons in critical areas.
New trauma-informed safety and active-shooter preparedness training will also be offered in the spring semester.
Clements, who previously served as chief of the Providence Police Department, was recently named Brown’s interim public safety vice president after former chief Rodney Chatman was placed on leave following a report from The Boston Globe, which alleged a school custodian, Derek Lisi, saw the shooter at Barus and Holley weeks before the incident and alerted a security guard.
Authorities say 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a former Brown student, opened fire inside the elite university’s engineering and physics building, killing students Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, before traveling to Boston to kill MIT professor Nuno Loureiro. Days later, authorities found Neves-Valente dead by suicide in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire.

brown u immediately told jewish students that any opinions about hamas blmplo being criminals would result in immediate punishment
The first thing we do to increase security, we get the snitch out of the basement.
Like all liberal reactions, Brown will take steps that on the surface appear to make things safer, but will in effect simply make it easier for future miscreants to make mayhem. Multnomah County (Portland) has recently put up signs banning concealed carry in the libraries. This of course has had zero impact on the meth and fentanyl addicted feral homeless who spend hours upon hours there, and they all openly carry either large hunting knives or machetes. The net effect is that I am now out the back door (I sit even closer to it these days) the second that any troubles arises. “Bob first” is our new official policy in these matters. There are a couple of librarians there who can actually think, and they are not happy with the change in policy from above.
