29. Eight questions we should be asking at UTSP (cont.): • Do we have all the protocols in place to ensure timely and accurate emergency alerting? • Are we doing all that we can as it relates to alcohol abuse and its relationship to bad behavior, fraternity-related crimes and sexual assaults? • Are we sufficiently aware of the espionage/intelligence gathering/computer hacking efforts of certain foreign nations against major universities? • Do we have all of the right protocols in place to do everything possible to anticipate and identify mental health issues on our campuses given the nexus to student suicides and mass shootings?
