Vanzo said a significant part of campus safety is the network of around 65 emergency telephones placed around campus. The university is also doing some landscaping to provide safety.
"[The landscaping] is partially because the plants have reached their life cycle," Vanzo said, "but also to provide as much safety as possible. We don't want places where people can hide."
The landscaping efforts will consist of grooming back trees and plants to help eliminate shadows as much as possible and to increase visibility.
Additional information on campus safety policies and procedures is available on the SIUE Web site.
