Swat Contracts with Security Firm AlliedBarton
At the beginning of this semester, two new security guards began patrolling campus during the 9:00pm to 3:30am shift. These guards are employed by AlliedBarton, a security firm that was contracted by the college to provide additional nighttime security; however, their presence has also led students to examine AlliedBarton’s disputed labor policies.

Fathers are crying at the thought of having to repaint the Parrish foyer because students used packing tape to hang their signs instead of masking tape that could have removed without destroying the paint.
