Dorm Safety-- Wayne stands out from the pack

A follow-up report on the 11 o'clock news had reporters with hidden cameras visit dormitories at Michigan State the University of Michigan and Wayne State. The report emphasized that the news organization forewarned the universities that it would follow-up on a report three weeks ago that showed how easily strangers can gain access to dormitories. At Michigan State the reporter got in 4 out of 4 dorms and gained free access to all the floors and students in unlocked rooms. At the U of M reporters simply followed kids with access cards into the buildings, and the reporters were easily able to access five dormitories. But at Wayne State the reporters were stopped at South Hall and North Hall and the story ended with the reporter saying of Wayne State security, "Now that's the way it's supposed to be."
