1. The Back to School Safety Initiative
A plan for a safer campus, with unlimited opportunities for all.
By Rebecca Raphaelson

2. (Things that keep me up at night.)

3. What it is-
• A new work-study program that adds officers to
the University Police Force.
• Honorably discharged US Veterans
psychologically screened to University and local
Police Standards, and with a written work release
from a Veteran’s Administration Psychiatrist.
• A guaranteed sum of at least $25,000 per Veteran,
per year from the GI Bill.

4. How It Works-
• Veterans apply to Clark as a regular student, with an additional
supplemental application for this program.
• Clark provides a small amount of tuition, a meal plan and splits a
small monthly wage payment between a stipend and a savings plan.
(Veterans are awarded their savings only upon graduation. If they
drop out, the savings goes back into the program.)
• Adds equal job, pay and advancement opportunities for women and
veterans.
• Enables us to have members of the most highly trained security
force in the world. Thus, exponentially increasing campus security
and neighborhood safety at a fraction of the current price of a
University Police Officer.

6. In the next 5 years, over 1,000,000 troops will be separating
from the US Military. That means, the VA will have jobs
available for every single major, minor and concentration at
Clark. Implementing this program will give us first mover
advantage. First to move means first to interview, which
becomes first on the short list of people to hire.
We have the potential to exponentially increase our number of
students with jobs upon graduation, and soar through the
college rankings.

7. We can start now!
