I don’t know how it is in the colleges, but I know in elementary and high schools, it’s, lock down, cover down, quite down. Something like that. Some things never change.
When I went to grade school back in the cold war days we were taught to hide from 50 Megaton Soviet nukes by squeezing under our $5.00 wooden desks.

The idiocy of the standard school response to a shooter. My wife was instructed to keep students in the classroom and lock the door. Her classroom had no door thus very difficult to properly lock.
Help us all, particularly all those little sitting ducks in Americas classrooms.

there actually was a scintilla of sense in that; it was
the same as old school tornado drills (where you’d have
about 30 seconds warning) it might protect from some
trauma (falling lights, windows)
However the nuke drill was mostly to demoralize
