Unfortuately, generating more paperwork to submit to the federal government is not an answer to the problem. The recommendations are fine, and most professional college and university law enforcement agencies already do this. Feel-good legislation, particularly when it generates more paperwork on behalf of institutions does not accomplish much other than to generate more paperwork.

The timeframe for reporting an incident is not realistic. Anyone that has ever been involved in an incident of this nature knows that every incident is different and the complexity of a major situation. Because of that there is no realistic way a timeframe such as the one proposed could be followed in every situation.

Perhaps this legistlation should be tied into current movement to create new law enforcement technologies so that the 30 minute citation in this amendment can be feasible. We are in the 21st Centurty, why not take advantage of technology to realize safety to our campuses?

And what happens when non-campus law enforcement puts a lockdown on college communications? Such as during a terrorist investigation? Is the college liable under this law for a decision made, for example, by FBI agents?
