This is much needed! The Trump administration has announced it will launch an investigation into security at Brown University following the mass shooting that occurred at the university, which left two dead and nine injured. The investigation comes after it was revealed Brown University has over 1,200 security cameras on campus, but the university failed to have any surveillance systems outside of the building where the mass shooting took place. News Nation provided further details on the Trump administration’s decision to investigate Brown University: The Trump administration has opened an investigation into security protocols at Brown University after the school shooting that killed two people and injured nine. The U.S. Department of Education announced Monday that it would investigate if Brown violated the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, a section of the Higher Education Act, which “requires institutions of higher education to meet certain safety and security-related requirements as a condition of receiving federal student aid.” “Students deserve to feel safe at school, and every university across this nation must protect their students and be equipped with adequate resources to aid law enforcement,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement. “The Trump Administration will fight to ensure that recipients of federal funding are vigorously protecting students’ safety and following security procedures as required under federal law,” she added. McMahon pointed to a Fox News story that showed the school’s surveillance and security system may not have been up to appropriate standards, “allowing the suspect to flee while the university seemed unable to provide helpful information about the profile of the alleged assassin.” A Brown spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the school issued a press release on Monday night showing that it will conduct a so-called “after-action review” of the incident, that a rapid response team will work to ensure the campus is safe in advance of the Spring 2026 semester, and that an external comprehensive “Campus Safety and Security Assessment” of the campus and surrounding area will be initiated.

Rodney Chatman, Brown’s vice president for public safety and emergency management, will be on leave effective immediately, Brown President Christina Paxson said in the statement. Hugh T. Clements, former chief of police of the Providence Police Department, will take over as interim and also oversee the after-action review, Paxson said. “A thorough After-Action Review is an essential part of any recovery and response following a mass casualty event like the one that has devastated our campus,” she added. The school is working to add enhanced security measures to the campus, according to the statement. “The concerns our community has about safety and security are real. And I share them,” Paxson said.
