You'd think Brown University President Christina Paxson would be front and center, admitting the campus failed not only to protect students but also to investigate properly so that something like this never happens again. That she would admit their errors so they can fix them and do what's right for the families of the students who were injured or killed.
But no, no.
Not Paxson.
She is far more concerned about covering her own backside to do what's right for the families of these students and is already in full-blown cover her arse mode. Watch her shrug off the fact that there were no cameras in that particular building:
Unbelievable. “I don’t think a lack of cameras in that building had anything to do with what happened,” Brown University President Christina Paxson said. It took authorities 6 days to find the shooter and police said they literally relied on a homeless man and his Reddit post to…

Not to mention, if there were cameras, could the shooting have been stopped? Could the gunman have been caught, preventing the MIT professor's murder after the fact?
So many questions. So many issues.
And so much blame she's desperate to push off on someone else.

Uh-huh.
An MIT professor was murdered days later while police were still trying to identify him due to a lack of clear surveillance.

Bingo.
She needs to resign.

And the trustees need to see that she does.

While not required, surveillance cameras, on and off campus, have the potential to serve as a deterrent. They can prevent crime as well as be used to investigate after the fact.

If we buy this whole story, then the lack of cameras almost certainly had something to do with the MIT professor being murdered.
