In the wake of the murder of a University professor last Fall, University of Arizona is outlining more of its safety plans.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Two senior leaders resigned in a shake up earlier this week. UA is working to improve communications and help students and staff prepare for future threats.
An expelled graduate student is awaiting trial in the murder of Professor Thomas Meixner. Faculty, family and friends say they warned the university well in advance that the murder suspect had a history of threats. He was expelled and barred from campus but an independent review concluded the university missed several chances to defuse the threat.
Doctor Robbins says a senior Oro Valley Police Officer will be interim chief while UA holds a national search for a replacement. UA professor and former U.S. Surgeon General Doctor Richard Carmona says, “People who are difficult to manage, people who are causing problems, and police have often have to step up to be if you will, almost psychologists and counselors in these type of situations not using force, but being able to talk somebody down and calm a very volatile situation so that it can be adjudicated very quickly and safely for everybody's best interest.
