Students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are criticizing the school’s response to a campus shooting that killed a faculty member.
The biomedical engineering student has carried a poster board around campus, gathering hundreds of signatures on hisdemanding substantial and immediate improvements to the active shooter response protocol that university leaders maintain was a success.
Despite the university’s confidence in its response, students say their teachers appeared unprepared and many grew more panicked in the absence of detailed information. As law enforcement swept his building, Baldonado said he and his classmates asked an officer to slide a badge under the door “because we weren’t sure if there was a real police officer on the other end.” He was evacuated before the all-clear message and told by a university administrator to walk toward Franklin Street, a dining and shopping hub, without knowing whether the shooter had been detained, he said.
The freshman was sitting on the steps of the journalism school when the first alarm rang. “It sounded like ‘The Purge,’” she recalled. A dean’s assistant instructed them to leave the building before the all-clear message and the assistant could not tell them where to go, Evelyn said.
