UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO STUDENTS GET THEIR WAY WITH LEGISLATORS. THEIR PUSH FOR BETTER SECURITY AT THE SCHOOL DURING THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION LED TO LAWMAKERS APPROVING 125-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO MAKE SECURITY UPGRADES AT UNM. IT’LL MEAN THE PARKING LOTS, THE DUCK POND AREA, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE CAMPUS WILL BE MADE BRIGHTER FOR STUDENTS ON CAMPUS AT NIGHT.
ASUNM PRESIDENT NOAH BROOKS TOLD THE BOARD OF REGENTS THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW UNSAFE THE CAMPUS FEELS. SOME OF THE REVENUE FROM A TUITION HIKE THIS YEAR WILL ALSO GO TO MAKING UNM SAFER. MEANWHILE, THE SCHOOL CONTINUES TO COPE WITH PROPERTY CRIMES AND OTHER SECURITY ISSUES.
