Tracy Clemons from Nbc29.com is reporting:
In light of Morgan Harrington's disappearance, and her murder, the University Of Virginia is responding to questions about security at John Paul Jones Arena.
UVA has made a few significant changes to security policies at the arena, including re-training staff to be on the lookout for people who appear hurt or in distress.
The new policy also requires staff to call a manager if they notice an impaired person attempting to leave the building, and to call university police if they're concerned about the health or safety of anyone inside. This is an attempt to seek out a people who may be in trouble, and to help them. It's an effort to prevent the same thing from happening to another young person that happened to Morgan Harrington.
The no re-entry policy at the John Paul Jones Arena is still in place. The University will not elaborate as to whether they're thinking of changing that.
Harrington was the Virginia Tech student who went missing during a METALLICA concert on October 17th, 2009.
