The Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education considered arming security officers in all of the state’s community colleges on Dec. 3.

President Gena Glickman of Manchester Community College expressed support for the idea to arm security officers on campus, arguing recent shootings on school grounds have made the policy change necessary.
