I think it's a good start. I'd like for the campus police to be able to engage at a distance. As the perp may be seen from a distance too far to be effectively engaged with a handgun. If only one life is saved by an earlier engagement, the cost is worth it.
I do believe this should not be the end point of the issue. The students that have the right to carry off campus should be allowed to carry on campus.

In principle, I think going the "police-state" route and giving the campus soldiersever greater power projection is just another cop-out and feel-good move designed to repel the notion that students possessing the ability to defend themselves may actually be the best solution to an ever growing issue...If they were truly concerned about increasing the reach of campus police officers' guns, the most economical answer would be to issue Kel-Tec Sub-rifles (<$300) that fold into a 16"x4"x1", lightweight (4lb) package that uses the same mags as their pistols. Alas, those are only semi-auto, so they wouldn't be cool new toys for the soldier wannabees.
