There have been more than five different thefts on campus within the past week.

Property that ranges from backpacks, to money and teaching supplies, have been reported as stolen.

All of the thefts have been reported in the theatre and music departments.

On Monday, there was an individual (non-student) that somehow made his way behind a desk in a faculty member’s office.

When confronted, he had no answers to indicate he had any business even being on campus and proceeded to quickly leave right after the incident.

“It has truly become a sad state, with budget cuts and the economy being the way it is, it is sad what some people have to resort to during these hard times,” said Rosemary Medina, secretary of the Music Department.

On Tuesday, there was a mass e-mail sent out to help restore the security on campus.

Dean of Fine Arts, Connie Mayfield is on the front lines on mended this troubling situation

“I contacted all members of faculty and staff, informed them of the thefts and gave suggestions on how to make faculties more secure,” Mayfield said.
