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

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

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.
