A number of the responders note that the elimination of security degree programs in some colleges is part of an inevitable evolution that involves the failure of weak programs and the survival of effective programs that meet the demands of the student and occupational market place. The discussions favor the establishment of an institute with a curriculum devised by security professionals, a curriculum which contains a balance of theoretical and practical knowledge and skill learning. Some factors in the failure of security curriculums maintained by universities are the dominant theoretical, rather than professional, orientation of faculty and administration (many view the security field as requiring nothing more than vocational training) and the security industry's failure to appreciate or provide incentives for college training among its personnel. Some suggestions are that security courses be included in business curriculums and the specialized curriculums of fields that give priority to private security systems.
