      <![CDATA[As a student of VUU, I feel as though the fence serves as a source of protection instead of  in caging the students as said in your article. If you were a student  of Vuu you would know the purpose, instead  of basing it off of  an opinion.Furthermore you see what the president is doing for the University, what are you doing?<br><br>D.J _

      <![CDATA[Unfortunately this is what goes on at College campuses local and nationwide.<br><br>Richmond police made a quick arrest this morning after a Virginia Commonwealth University student was beaten and robbed near the western edge of the school's main academic campus.<br><br>Capt. David L. Martin said the victim was punched repeatedly but refused medical treatment for various scrapes.<br><br>A 3rd Precinct officer spotted and arrested the suspect within three minutes of the attack. Jason Warrington, 21, who is believed to be from the Richmond area, was being held this morning on a charge of robbery.<br><br>Authorities later this morning confirmed that the victim, who is in his late teens, is a VCU student.<br><br>Martin said the victim was walking in the 1100 block of Grove Avenue at 1:21 a.m. when a man approached him and inquired about a party at VCU.

      <![CDATA[My daughter attends Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh, also an HBCU, which is fenced with a security check point to come in. I have never thought of them as "shut off" from anything and have attended numerous events there, never feeling unsafe.

VUU now seems to be advertising its belief that it occupies a high-crime area.<br><br>It is neither offensive or wrong to suggest that the fence is shutting the university off from the community, because that's what it's doing.
