TROUGHTOUT THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN THERE HAS NOT BEEN TENSE MOMENTS LIKE THOSE OCURRED IN RECENTS WEEKS. FIRST CAME THE FIRE OF THE MAIN AUDITORIUM, WHOSE AUTOR OR AUTORS OF THIS FIRE AND THE REASONS FOR THIS ACT CONTINUE TO BE A MISTERY, AT LEAST FOR THE STUDENT POPULATION, AND OF COURSE ALL OF THIS BECAME A SEA OF ESPECULATIONS.
WHAT DID THE POLICE AND JUDICIARY SAY ABOUT IT? WHAT SAYS UNIVERSITY’S MANAGEMENT? SILENCE WAS THE CONSTANT FACT IN ALL THAT HAPPENED. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTICE THAT SECURITY PERSONEL INCREASE AND THEIR PRESENCE IS NOTICE, THEY WALK ACROSS CAMPUS LIKE IF THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING OR IT MAY BE THAT THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO AVOID HORRIBLE SITUATIONS FROM HAPPENING OR ANY CRIMINAL AC TIVIRY.
WHO WAS OR WERE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO CAUSED THE FIRE? IS USC OR THE STUDENT POPULATION UNDER THREAT? WHY SO MUCH SILENCE AND LACK OF INFORMATION? HOW BAD IS ALL THAT IS HAPPENING? WHAT ARE THE MOTIVES SURROUNDING THESE EXTREME ACTIONS, LIKE SETTING A FIRE ON THE BUILDING? IT WAS SHOCKING FOR ME TO NOTICE THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOW TO ENTER THE ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING. HENCE, I PRESUME THAT THE USC’S PRESIDENT, DR CLINTON VALLEY IS DEALING WITH THIS MATTER AND IS TAKING SECURITY MEASURES. BUT IS THET ENOUGH?
REFLECITONS WILL NOT BE ENOUGH, IT IS NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY THE MOTIVES AND THE PERSONS WHO ARE BEHIND ALL THIS. IT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS THE THREAT TO DEAL WITH IT, AS TO AVOID FUTURE THEATS OR DAMEGES. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE STUDENT POPULATION BE INFORMED AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING. IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO CONSIDER THE SOCIAL LIFE ON CAMPUS AND THE RELATIONSHIP AMOUND IT’S MEMBERS IN AND OUT OF CAMPUS. IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE IN ALL AREAS OF THE SOCIETY.
