I'm actually kinda surprised noone has started this topic yet, or that noone has come to the conclusion I have. At first the key cards for almost every single door at LECOM-E threw me off and I couldn't imagine why they would need that kind of security.
My opinion now is this: I think that the fact that this building (for the medical school part of the hospital at least) was built so recently has something to do with it. As a private hospital/school LECOM has to worry more than state insitutions about lawsuits bankrupting them. Because of the historically recent ability for trial lawyers to launch nuclear civil lawsuits at a whim LECOM has to protect themselves against as many possible liability issues as possible, whether that be a patient who breaks into the samples closet, eats them like candy, dies, and the family sues the school, a female student being assaulted on grounds, or someone who shouldn't even be in an area spilling hot coffee on their lap. The institution probably also needs insurance, and this will probably help their rates in that area as well. Orwellian, but cost-effective.
Agree/Disagree?
