Do you feel like the University needs better security in order to prevent a school shooting?

“We can’t monitor everything that happens. It would be nice to feel completely safe all the time, but that’s not possible.”

Erin Bellassai, Stillwater, Oklahoma graduate student

“I don’t really know what we could do about it. If we call the police and they come right away that’s what’s important.”

Erika Hirano, Yokohama, Japan graduate student

“Not really. Things like that are kind of hard to predict or prevent without taking drastic measures.”

Cody Harryman, Wichita freshman

“I haven’t really heard of anything going on here, so I feel fine.”

Andrew Wood, Olathe sophomore
