State campus safety report released

Ewiflflamw

ahaymond@kykernel.com

After examining campus safety at
postsecondary institutions across
Kentucky since January. a state task
force released on Friday its recom-
mendations. many of which are al-
ready in place or under way at UK.

In the 24-page report. the Cover—
nor's Task Force on Campus Safety
made general observations about Ken-
tucky colleges. rather than evaluating
security measures at each institution.
Gail Minger. the task force‘s chair—
woman. presented the findings Friday.

Maj. Joe Monroe. the interim UK
police chief. said he read over the re—
port after the UK football gatne Sat—
urday night. highlighting the recom—

mendations and noting that UK is al—
ready on the road to following them.

The task force evaluates public
and private colleges‘ progress toward
guidelines set in the Michael Minger
Act of 2000. which requires institu-
tioris to report safety violations and
hazards.

The report noted that the highest
concern at postsecondary institutions
was fire safety. where the State Fire
Marshal deemed some conditions un-
safe and found some that even violatv
ed Kentucky‘s building code.

UK has an official. Fire Marshal
Garry Beach. to enforce fire—safety
regulations on campus. Beach could
not be reached for comment yesterday.

Another recommendation includ~
ed improving campus communication

and alert systems. specifically by im—
plementing a text—messaging system.
UK purchased an emergency text-
messaging system in August but has
not yet implemented it. Another noti—
fication system. UK Mobility. was
created intemally and offers a text-
message option. but administrators
have not yet collected student cell—
phone numbers to make that possible.

The task force also targeted drug-
and alcohol-related issues on campus-
es. recommending that schools take a
more active role in reducing and pre-
venting substance abuse.

“It is not enough for a college to
distribute its alcohol and other drug
policies in the back of a handbook.
host a one-day alcohol awareness pro-
gram. or offer counseling programs

for those who seek them. and expect
the problem to go away." the report
said.

Suggested methods included
scheduling classes on Fridays to dis-
courage Thursday—night drinking.
keeping libraries and recreational facil—
ities open later. notifying parents when
students repeatedly violate drug and al—
cohol policies. and offering mandatory
instruction to raise awareness.

The report urged schools to
heighten their focus on mental health.
encouraging administrators and facul~
ty members to promote referral and
treatment of mental disorders as a
preventative measure against violence
and criminal behavior.

WALK

 

Continued from page 1

family members and friends for
donations to the walk and donat-
ed money themselves, Mesaros
said.

Every five minutes there is a
new blood cancer diagnosis. and
every ten minutes someone dies
of the disease. according to the
Light the Night Web site
(www.lightthenight.org).

On July 3. 2006. Keal
checked himself into Central
Baptist Hospital after experienc-
ing immense back pains. Keal
said he woke up a week later at
UK Hospital not remembering
the prior week or even the nurse
who had been caring for him.

“Patrick was always one of
the tough guys in the fraternity.“
Mesaros said. “When he
checked himself into the hospi-

tal because of back pains. we
knew something was wrong."

After being diagnosed with
lymphoma. Keal had to stay in
the hospital for four to five days
every three weeks to be moni-
tored. At the same time. Keal
was a full-time student because
that was the only way he could
maintain health benefits.

"When Patrick was diag-
nosed, it kind of made us all re-
alize that we are. in fact. hu‘
man." Mesaros said. "I mean.
this could have happened to any
of us."

After the doctors brought
Keal out of a weeklong coma in
January. Keal entered into re-
mission —— the cancer was en-
tirely out of his body.

His hospital visits have been
reduced to once a month for
blood tests. Keal said the doc—
tors told him that his blood is as
normal as it will get.

“It still sucks every time I

go to the hospital." Keal said.
“I never know what the results
of my tests will be until I get
them back. and the whole time
I‘m waiting. I just hope that I
don‘t have to go through this
again."

in addition to fundraising.
the Light the Night walk gives
former patients an opponunity
to see their nurses and doctors
again. Keal said. The same nurs-
es who see patients at their
worst now get to see them in
much better conditions.

Even once he was diag-
nosed. Kcal never gave up. He
said he thought that as long as
the cancer was curable. it was
just a matter of time before he
got out of the hospital.

"Patrick was always very
adamant about not giving up.
trying to he the superman of
everything." Mesaros said. "He
wasn‘t going to let the cancer
bring him down."

 

SAFETY

Continued from page 1

 

To maintain secure campus
law enforcement. the report en-
couraged institutions to improve
relations with local law enforce-
ment agencies through signed
working agreements and sug-
gested recruitment strategies to
replenish low police numbers.

UK has 513 students per
swom police officer. according
to the report. The public college
with the lowest ratio in the state
is Kentucky State University.
with 250 officers per student:

Northern Kentucky University
has the highest ratio. with 770.
The report urged the General
Assembly to put the “highest
priority" for funding on campus
safety measures. It also suggest-
ed that state and local agencies
support a statewide Center for
Campus Safety. an organization
to facilitate security-related
communication and training
among schools.
Recommendations that UK
has already implemented in-
clude extra lighting throughout
campus. a protocol for response
during emergencies. a relation-
ship with the local law enforce»
ment agency. and security

alarms and monitors at resi-
dence halls.

The report's findings were
very similar to those of a school
and campus safety report re—
leased Thursday by the National
Association of Attorneys Gener—
al. UK spokesman Jay Blanton
said the task force‘s report con-
tributed to the dialogue about
campus safety. something he
thought UK was doing a good
job at targeting.

"It's good that a lot of things
mentioned in that report and the
(attorneys general's) report are
things the university is doing or
in the process of implementing."
Blanton said.

“It‘s not like I'm going to

"I just hate that l have to change

Students also need to be

police may find from Facebook

ter.

“I've talked to employers
that have decided not to pursue
a candidate because of what’s
on their Facebook profile."
Amerman said.

While Amerman says delet—
ing a Facebook account is the
only way to ensure that possible
losses are reduced. she realizes
that won’t stop many students
from using the service.

S More studentsseekprivate loans

Bylannitor Burk
McClatchy Newspapers

The number of students tak-
ing out private loans for educa-
tion is growing rapidly. despite
the fact they often are more ex-
pensive in the long run.

Borrowing through private
loan programs for higher educa-
tion totaled $17.3 billion in
2005-06. which. adjusted for in-
flation. is an increase of more
than 900 percent since l995-96.
according to a new report on
private loans by Jacqueline E.
King. director of the American
Council on Education Center for
Policy Analysis.

Private loan borrowing ac-
counts for 20 percent of all edu—
cation borrowing. according to

the report.

“A lot of times (students and
parents) think it might be quick—
er to do a private loan. even
though it‘s more expensive."
said Suzanne Pittman. director
of financial aid and assistant
vice president for enrollment
management at Georgia College
& State University.

To qualify for a federal loan.
students must fill out the Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid. better known as the PAP—
SA. The application takes about
an hour to fill out. and then the
govemment and college have to
process it. which could take
weeks. Pittman said.

“Some people think that
process is too cumbersome and
complicated." she said. "Some-

times you may have students or
families who wait until the last
minute to do anything about fi—
nancial aid. and they think they
don't have enough time.”

Acquiring a private loan is a
simpler application process. al-
though sometimes it may re
quire a credit check. she said.

Other possible reasons a stu»
dent may choose a private loan
over a federal loan include com
parable introductory rates. a lack
of comparative information and
mispcrccptions about w ho is cli—
giblc for a fedcral loan. accord-
ing to the American Council on
Education rcpon.

Several students who filled
out the FAFSA for federal loans.
though. said they didn‘t find thc
process difficult.

third quaner was the first of six
second-half touchdowns for the
Cats. .

"He showed that he can run
the football as well as block."
head coach Rich Brooks said.
“He's blocking as good as an}
fullback we‘ve had since I‘ve
been here. He‘s a running
threat as well as a reccixing
threat "
