Higher Learning or High Security Prison

What is going on with Virginia State University? Do I attend an institution of of higher learning or maximum security prison. Why is traffic blocked all the way to WaWa because I have to swipe my card to get on campus? Why is the campus constantly on lock down? Why is there a fence being built around the perimeter of the campus? Last time I checked, VSU was an open campus. I'm not sure what's going on I am starting to feel like VSU is America under the Bush Administration and if that is becoming a reality we are all in trouble. The gate is just the first step, soon there will be metal detectors in the entrances to all buildings and visitation on campus will be a thing of the past. VSU students, we need to speak up now before we all have to start taking mug shots.
