Students gathered in a Bessy Hall classroom at MSU Tuesday to air out their concerns after returning to in-person instruction.
Many say they want to see the school require ID keycards to access campus buildings and locks installed on classroom doors.
But others don’t want excessive security, including armed guards and expanded surveillance, to detract from a positive learning environment.
Interim President Teresa Woodruff and other administrators attended the town hall. She says officials want to work collaboratively with students to address concerns.
“I think the barriers between admin and students is very little right now, because we're we all have a shared experience.”
Students also criticized the return to in-person instruction as hasty and asked the university to improve its emergency communications.
