Solving the Problem
After doing plenty of research on
the lack of blue lights on Fraternity row, I decided to pursue my hypothesis on
this topic along with a solution to the problem. As you have read in my
previous blog posts: The University of Florida has blue emergency lights
located in many locations all over campus, besides on Fraternity Row. I believe
this is a popular area where many students live and are often walking alone. It
is important that the University sees the issue. One way to solve this solution
is by the protests that are occurring. There have been many protests on campus
due to this issue. I believe another way to resolve this problem is by simply
just adding blue emergency lights or even starting to get students to start
signing petitions (for example in Turlington) to help add the lights to
Fraternity Row. Also, there are many other campuses around the country that
don’t have the blue emergency lights. I believe other Universities should be
made aware of what these lights are and show them how important they are to
save students from being placed in a dangerous situation.
I can completely agree with your position on the blue lights. With there being a lack of a secure network to quickly call the police, it is a very easy area for criminals to go and commit their crimes. It is only a matter of time before something horrible happens. Hopefully the protests persuade the university enough to install the lights before something horrible does happen. For some reason, it seems that no action is taken until something happens. It is a shame that situations like this aren't taken more seriously beforehand.
