For nearly a decade, video analytics has been considered the next big thing in campus security. But the surveillance technology, also known as video content analysis, is just beginning to catch the eye of higher ed security administrators.
Certainly these systems—where software provides automatic monitoring of video feeds and triggers alerts for follow-up by security staff—have much to offer.
Bryant University in Rhode Island has appointed Daniel J. Borgia to be academic dean of Bryant Zhuhai, the first and only American university in Zhuhai, China.
What is the biggest roadblock to widespread use of video analytics technology?
“ROI. Understanding how to design and implement solutions that work with the analytics system—and not against it—make the difference. Campuses offer a diverse environment with a range of challenges. Proper design and deployment can yield a measurable return on investment.”

While most institutions use financial aid systems to award and distribute regular financial aid, that isn’t always the case with emergency aid. Usually, each student’s situation must be evaluated to determine whether emergency financial help is warranted and if so, at what level.
That process isn’t always built into the standard financial aid system—so institutions often need to get creative to make it automated.
Throughout Florida, colleges and universities are hiring faculty to accommodate growing high-demand fields like health and engineering.
