President David K. Wilson addressed the campus regarding new security measures in the wake of a shooting at the historically Black university in Baltimore.
Five people were shot on Morgan State University’s campus this month in Baltimore. A week after a shooting on Morgan State University grounds, the school announced plans to enclose 90 percent of the campus to limit “unfettered access,” President David K. Wilson said during a campus town hall Tuesday evening.
Other security measures include “more enhanced technology to enable us to identify anyone on the campus who is possessing a weapon,” more metal detectors, and a security booth outside Thurgood Marshall dining hall, near where the shooting occurred, Wilson said.“We’re doing this, let me be clear, not to keep out our neighbors and community,” Wilson said. “We are doing it to keep out the bad actors.
Since the incident, the university has increased security patrols by Baltimore Police and Morgan State police. An armed campus police officer is now stationed in front of Thurgood Marshall Hall 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Wilson said.He said there will be more contracted security guards stationed near the exteriors of all on-campus residence halls during the evening and night hours. Currently, there are guards located within all of the on-campus residences, Wilson said.
