Students at Indiana University in Bloomington are raising questions about the Emergency Alert System for students following a shooting near campus over the weekend.
According to the Protect IU website, there are certain situations that will warrant an alert.Students say they were only notified of a police chase that happened on campus, not the shooting that led up to it.
Foster said the nightclub where the shooting happened is frequented by students so it would have been good to know that a crime took place there. "I did get an alert to stay away from the area," IU sophomore Cayley Dodson said. “I think it was a little bit after it happened when they were already chasing. It probably could have happened a little sooner."It is a federal law requiring all higher education institutions to disclose information about crime on campus.
