Sin City is safer than wandering around EC campus unaware of the danger that is walking around the campus masked to look like innocent people.
There have been incidents at EC that students might not be aware of; such as a man pulling out a knife on a student at this year’s club rush, a police officer shooting a man, a woman being raped, a man under the women’s bathroom stall in MBA Building trying to take pictures of a girl on the toilet, and threats made to the campus by James Lemus.
With all the theft, disturbance, traffic collisions and suspicious people on campus, it is hard for a student to study and focus on school. How could students study with disturbances all over the campus, when a male student drinks alcohol and bother female students?
Students can’t even leave their wallet beside them while they are on the phone without someone trying to steal it. For example, a girl that was sitting on a planter left her wallet on her side to make a quick phone call. Minutes later she found it missing after her call.
The campus security needs to do a better job with securing the students at school and making them feel safe. The school does email students when something big happens on campus, however, students should get alerts more frequently.
Students should bring something like pepper spray to protect themselves against creeps, especially if they’re taking night classes.
To make the campus safer, the security could set up a booth on the library lawn for the first two weeks of school and give students detail about the Nixle system and information about incidents that happened on campus. The booth would be a great thing to do because students can stop by and ask a question, whether it would be about the campus or direction.
Staff members at the campus could also help make the school a safer place by staying up-to-date with all the incidents that happened on campus and letting their students know about them at the beginning of class and also informing students about the Nixle system.
El Camino is not a safe place for students.
