on MPD. I seriously question whether other vendors would be reliably
dependable. And OF COURSE it’s a matter of money. Anytime an
administrator says “it’s not a matter of money” her or she
lies through his/her teeth. They must do what they can to ensure that a large
and reliable stream of income goes to the president, vice presidents, provost,
vice provosts, assistants to the president, assistants to the provost,
assistants to the vice presidents, junior assistants to the acting vice provost
for international water quality monitoring, presidential housekeeping staff
(does the president of the UI really need *<b>5</b>* people on his personal
staff, besides the assistants in his outer office) and others of their assorted
ilk. And their contribution to the well being of the UI is exactly what?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Perhaps it may be of value to peruse the last several years
of campus<br>
police calls and determine how many were of "police" necessity<br>
(holdups at the SUB for example). I suspect a vast majority (suspect<br>
- I have not gone into the police logs yet) are of the nature of<br>
gun-checks, alarm bell ringing in the elevators, traffic control,<br>
parking problems, noise complaints, all "minor" issues that could be<br>
handled at less expense by a competent security contractor. Those<br>
issues requiring police presence could be contracted on an 'as needed'<br>
basis. I suspect given the low frequency of violent crime on campus<br>
(drunken students firing at passing cars) risk would be minimal<br>
(here's a can of worms opening up...) and for those at-risk situations<br>
MDP response would be (could be? should be?) quick.<br>
