About a month ago, Cabrini University had 10 new security cameras installed on campus. It is always good to have stronger security on campus, but is this an invasion of our privacy?
“The cameras have been added in all of the dorm housing for safety and security. The cameras focus on the entrances and exits of the buildings and are not there to take away anyone’s privacy,” Joseph Fusco, director of public safety said.
I personally believe that it is never a bad thing to have more security and protection on our campus. I was unaware of these new cameras being installed until just recently. It did not seem like a big announcement and seemed to have happened somewhat quietly.
It makes me wonder where else Cabrini has installed security cameras on our campus. But in the grand scheme of things, it does make me happy to know that they have taken a step to secure our campus that much more.
It is also very important to get other students opinions and thoughts on this topic because after all, students are the ones living on this campus, with the exception of commuters.
“I am happy with the decision of installing security cameras around campus. I am all for making our campus a safer place to live,” Matthew Dawson, junior business management major said.
Another student shared a similar opinion. ” I think they’ll be helpful. The security cameras are there just for our protection and they will help with our safety which is great for everyone,” Ali Ercolani, junior biology major said.
Overall, students seem to be glad that these cameras have been installed and Cabrini is doing their part in helping us feel more at home.
“The cameras were installed about a month ago to better beef up security on campus and help cut back on recent acts of vandalism that had been taking place,” Fusco said. There have been recent instances with car vandalism which had and still has students worried about their own car. Hopefully these cameras will be enough to put an end to the destruction on our campus.
It is never a good feeling to have tours of incoming students walk around our campus and see trash on the ground and things broken. Hopefully by adding these new security cameras, this will help our campus become a lot nicer and much more welcoming for those incoming freshman.
After all, who wouldn’t want a safer campus?
if the cameras can make a drunk student act responsible then they are a welcome tool
