Increased Campus Security Measures

Recent discussions among university boards have led to increasing the presence of security measures on campuses, particularly regarding the use of military-grade equipment. Universities like the University of California system have requested approval for non-lethal weapons and drones, under the premise they are not intended for crowd control. However, this has prompted concern from students and faculty, highlighting a potential shift in how universities respond to protests and unrest. Critics argue that such measures could escalate tensions between student protesters and law enforcement.
