The head of the Student Government Association at Grambling State University is speaking out about the two on-campus deadly shootings, one on Wednesday, the other on Sunday. SGA President Cameron Jackson says the gun violence has already led to discussions with University President Rick Gallot and others about establishing possible checkpoints.
“It’s super that we do have an open campus but as far as putting in these checkpoints what could we do to and how can we brainstorm places to put those so we can have those secure areas for our students,” said Jackson.”
Jackson is confident that President Gallot will take steps to curb the gun violence from outsiders as happened during Homecoming Week at the university.
“He’s going to think outside the box because he knows that this is the issue being faced by many college campuses, especially college campuses that are open,” said Jackson
Jackson is hopeful for a second meeting that would see police take a more active role in keeping violent outsiders in check should they try to gather on the open Grambling campus.
“We want to actually move towards having another conversation to actually start implementing plans as far as including our police protection here at the university,” said Jackson.
