Morgan State University Implements Campus Wall for Enhanced Safety Measures

Morgan State University in Baltimore plans to build a wall around 90% of its campus and increase security measures following a shooting during homecoming week that left five people injured. The university aims to "eliminate unfettered access" and keep out potential threats. The security upgrades, which include the wall, metal detectors, weapons detection technology, increased police patrols, and additional security guard booths, are estimated to cost over $22 million. The university has experienced previous incidents of violence during homecoming celebrations and is taking urgent action to ensure the safety of its students.
