Professors, parents concerned over University of Arizona security after murder; Robbins says review started

After a University of Arizona professor was shot and killed last week, faculty and parents have raised concern over campus safety and lack of security.

UA president Robert Robbins sent out an email addressing the campus security concerns. Robbins said school leaders have begun the work to retain independent external experts in security and threat assessments to begin a comprehensive review of all aspects of campus safety, violence prevention and public safety response.

“As many of you know, over the past two years, we have experienced other tragic incidents, both on campus and off, that have shaken our community and challenged our notion of safety,” Robbins said in the email. “While I take great pride in our ongoing efforts to protect our community, we must ask ourselves if there is more that we and our public safety partners can do.”
