A memo regarding safety on campus was released on Jan. 27 by ACC President Steven Kinslow and Vice President of Student Support and Success Systems Kathleen Christensen in response to the recent shooting in Tuscon, Arizona where the shooter attended Pima Community College.

Texas does not allow involuntary mental health screenings unless the individual is seen as a threat to themselves or others, according to the memo.
