EAST LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan State University will implement security changes involving locks, cameras, and mandatory active violence intruder training.

After the February 13 shooting that killed three students and injured five others, officials sought input from public safety and campus leaders, students, faculty and staff.

Michigan State University Interim President Teresa K. Woodruff said they are seeking bids for an external after-action review of MSU’s response to the Feb. 13 shooting.

“These steps will provide more robust security on campus while better preparing our community to respond in these unfortunate situations,” Woodruff said.

Access

Starting March 13, most buildings on the East Lansing campus will require key card access by students, faculty or staff members from 6 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Public event accommodations will be considered.

Locks

The university will place lock systems inside 1,300 classrooms. The university plans to have all the locks installed by 2023.

Cameras

MSU will expand its current camera network of more than 2,000 to include additional cameras throughout campus, including academic buildings and Green Light phones already on campus.

Training

MSU will begin requiring all students, faculty and staff to complete active violence intruder training starting this fall.
