>I am seeking information about university art museums who employ students as
>guards. How does it work for you? Thanks.

Since 1991 we have used a uniformed non-student guard who is part of the
campus security force.  My experience with students was:

1.  They don't dress like guards so their deterrent effect is minimal.
2.  They don't act like guards and are reluctant to confront visitors who
break the rules.
3.  It is a nightmare to schedule the number of students needed to cover
all the gallery's open hours.
