Dixon says the move wasn’t a reaction to the Virginia Tech killings last month but more the result of a fight outside North-Park Quads. He says money was shuffled around after that to add the equipment. Residence Life had $130,000 dedicated to a software program to streamline room assignments.

But “we decided cameras were important,” Dixon says. “Today’s world is changing. Theresidence hall was built under the concept of card swipes, locks on living room and bedroom doors. You use a card to get into the building, a key to the apartment and a key to the bedroom. It’s triple locked.”
