MADISON, Wis. — Before Thursday’s shooting at Northern Illinois University, leaders at University of Wisconsin-Madison continued to add security measures on campus.
The latest security measure is a campus-wide text messaging system that officials said will be launched this spring. University officials said they are making sure the system will work before allowing more than 60,000 students, faculty and staff to sign up for it.
University officials also met Friday with both law enforcement and campus groups to help make sure tragedies like the one a NIU and other campuses don’t happen at UW-Madison.
