This week Brown University scrambled to shield itself from blame in the aftermath of its deadly Dec. 13 campus shooting, placing its head of public safety on “administrative leave.”

But the facts are undeniable — and damning.

That Saturday, at 4:03 pm, a gunman wearing a partial face mask walked into the Barus & Holley Engineering Building on the Brown campus in Providence, RI, during finals study sessions.

He entered Room 166 and fired approximately 40 rounds, murdering two students, 19-year-old Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18.

Nine others were shot, seven of them critically wounded.

Then the shooter calmly walked out, exited onto a public street and vanished like a ghost.

Here’s the first hard truth: That building had only two exterior cameras.

Room 166 had zero. Same with the building’s hallways and exits.

No camera was there to capture the shooter entering or leaving.

No camera caught his face head-on.

Now consider this: Brown’s president has lived since 2012 in the official presidential residence —protected by dozens of exterior security cameras.

That is not an accident. It’s a statement of priorities.

For comparison, a 400,000-square-foot Walmart store typically deploys about 300 cameras — to protect shampoo, razors and laundry........
