Several measures, like an automated door-locking system, have been installed over the past few months, following the fatal shooting of a professor on the Tucson campus.

Charles Borla University of Arizona students will return to a campus this month to find security upgrades, like doors that can be locked automatically, and improved mental health services, officials say.

People are also reading… “The toughest pill to swallow is that a professor was murdered, by a student, basically on UAPD’s watch,” said UAPD interim police chief Chris Olson. “Moving forward, a lot of these changes are a great way to provide higher-level service and honor Dr. Meixner’s legacy by working extremely hard to make sure this never happens again.”

New posters, which will be displayed in every classroom, will provide individuals with vital information and will also display what individuals should do in the event of a bomb threat, chemical spill or utility emergency, among other emergencies. “The campus community was very supportive of the work the PAX Group did and by-and-large very supportive of the changes we’ve made,” said Patterson. “We’ve been actively engaged with the campus community… I would say in general the campus community has been very positive on the changes we’ve made.”
