PSU students crave notice on the national news. They feel upstaged by Umpqua.
A good alternative that exists is to require all instructors to acquire a CCW and to allow CCWs on campus. There need not be any requirement tat anyone be armed, just the general knowledge that some number of people in divers parts of the of the campus may be armed. It is cheaper than arming campus cops.
PSU? Portland State... Penn State... it’s all the same, no doubt.
For the sake of the gene pool, remove the armed guards.
