The following graph shows the evolution of the perceived personal safety on campus, with a score over 0 meaning a majority of positive comments in the feedback data.
Positive Developments:
Enhanced Security Protocols: There's been widespread appreciation for the upgraded and streamlined security measures, including lockdown drills and rapid response procedures.
Integration of Technology: The adoption of advanced security technologies, such as facial recognition and smart surveillance systems, has been positively received.
