The Clackamas Print Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011 PRIVACY / / SAFETY The fact that a former community college student, who wàs expelled due to questionable behavior, was responsible for the shooting in Arizona has raised concerns for many community colleges across the nation. The Clackamas Print decided to see what Clackamas Community College students felt was more important to them: students’ right to privacy or campus safety. “Campus safety because I would rather be safe on campus than have secrets.” - Kyza Stansfield «1 Privacy because things can go way too far in the name of safety as airports have shown.” - Brock Reedy “ ‘Safety because I don’t want people getting beat up. Safety first! - Brandon Troxel “Safety because I don’t want people getting hurt.” - Kraig Fargher “Safety because when you come to school you don’t plan on being killed.” - Erick Juarez “Safety because if a student is dangerous I want to be protected. -ÇQU£ttiey PattQ.ck “Privacy because a lot of the things people say they might do ... isn’t really an indicator of what they will do. Safety measures aren’t effective.” - Kevin Harris “Both because it depends on the situation.” - Rosemary Williams “Safety because I value general safety.” - Joshua Francom SAFETY: Shooting causes concern Continued from Page 1 Not everyone seems to think that privacy is as important as safety. “Safety still needs to be defined,” said Jean DeVenney, who also works in the counseling department, “because we value privacy we get the risk.” When asked whether she thought the situation with Loughner in Arizona was handled appropriately, DeVenney responded with, *WeU, was anyone hurt on that campus?” To clarify, she said that she felt the college handled the situation properly because staff kept their students safe. According to Pantages, Pima Community College may have had much more difficulties with follow up for Loughner than Clackamas would for their students. “They are much larger there. We are smaller so it would be easier for us to follow up.” However, Wolfson said she is unsure if Caldwell, the student asked to leave Clackamas, ever received mental health treatment or if anyone followed up with him. When asked whether she felt the situation with Caldwell was handled appropriately, DeVenney stated that she believed it was because no one was hurt. Wolfson echoed this response by saying that in high risk situations, safety is more important.
