ASU Chancellor appoints Task Force on Campus Safety

Apr 26, 2010

      A Task Force on Campus Safety to examine current safety and
security practices on campus has been formed at Arkansas State
University in Jonesboro.
      "The university community was stunned and saddened last week when
one of our students, a resident of Collegiate Park Apartments, was shot
in his apartment and died the next day," said Chancellor Robert L.
Potts. "This and other campus incidents in recent years have served to
remind us of the vital importance of providing the highest level
practicable of safety and security for all members of the campus
community."
      Chancellor Potts has requested the service of 10 persons in
various campus capacities to serve on the force, including director of
Residence Life Patrick Dixon, Student Government Association president
Adrian Everett, dean of the College of Business Dr. Len Frey, president
of the Faculty Association Dr. Beverly Boals Gilbert, Jonesboro
community representative Gary Harpole, vice chancellor of Finance and
Administration Ed Kremers, president of the Graduate Student Council
Kevin Linker, president of the Staff Senate Randy Martin, university
counsel Lucinda McDaniel and vice chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. Rick
Stripling. Dr. Stripling will serve as chair of the group.
      Chancellor Potts has asked the task force to provide a written
report detailing strengths and weaknesses of Arkansas State's current
practices and to recommend reasonable additions or changes to enhance
the safety and security of campus residents, employees and visitors.
      The task force will work toward completion and the issue of a
report by June 30, 2010, outlining ASU's safety and security.
Recommendations will be considered and implemented to the extent
feasible before students return to campus for the fall 2010 semester
