Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendall's family. May God bless you all and know that Kendall will never leave you. He is within you forever.
Our most sincere condolense four out to the Berry family. The security around campus should be better focused on the safety and well being of the Student/Faculty and staff, and NOT on issuing Parking citation around campus, in which they are wasting FIU's time and money, our money. They need to put a better and safer plan to help & Protect the FIU Community.
You know what I hate? I hate that something like this have to happen in order for the school to react. FIU dont have any secuity on campus but they do have thousands of people working giving out parking tickets to everyone and its not fair. ALL they care is about taking your money and that's all. Im sure they will be hiring securities and in a few months you are not going to see them anymore.
God Bless Kendall's family
ahh Its True they do haveeee a gazilion people out giving tickets but when it comes to protection where are they all?
And instead of going around giving tickets, they should monitor parking lots and other areas… argh I hate FIU
