SUMMARY: The Student Government Association at the University of Southern Mississippi is calling on the administration to increase safety measures in response to a student falling to their death from a parking garage. A petition advocating for guardrails on the top floor of the garage has gained over 2,700 signatures. The SGA is planning to place suicide prevention signs and barriers on the fifth floor of the garage, as well as guardrails on other tall buildings on campus that could pose a fall risk. The goal is to provide clear signage with information about the National Suicide Helpline.
