  1. Erm yeah? University buildings and hall of residence to secure, buildings that will contain equipment worth £££. I’ve also heard that they help patrol the general university ‘studentville’ area to help combat crime.

    Then finally there’s the pro-Palestine protestors that they had to deal with last year, making sure lectures and exams etc. weren’t disrupted.

  2. 247 for three years worked out at about £289 an hour.

    Knock off a third for management, support, equipment, hardware and on costs and you are looking at £190 a hour.

    That’s almost 15 security guards for £14 at 24/7.

    Yes there will be ups and downs, it’s not quite that simple but as a quick guide, doesn’t seem unreasonable across the sort of estate that they have.

  3. About £84/year per student. That’s cheaper than my house alarm maintenance. 👍

  4. Is this the same security that’s currently under investigation for attempting to run over students?
