That’s kind of the thing actually, the people on the list aren’t civilians, heck, if Pyrrha is any indication then the people on the list are extremely strong fighters, the kind that CAN’T die under normal circumstances, the kind who’s death can’t be masked under the pretence of being slain by a random grimm, the kind that can only be taken down by a HIGH PRIORITY threat to the safety of Beacon and beyond. what do you mean they can't be killed by a random Grimm, all it would take is one moment of bad luck and an Ursa could tear Pyrrha's throat out, if faced with either bad luck (manufactured or otherwise) a significant disparity in numbers, or for that matter power would do it too, Pyrrha ran from the Deathstalker, now, part of that was because she wanted to find her partner, who had been thrown far away, but she clearly didn't think she could win that fight, in fact it took team JNPR working together to kill the Deathstalker. My point being that, what with combat missions starting soon, all it would take is a little false information, misfortune, or sabotage, and a simple mission could quickly turn into a disaster, it wouldn't be too difficult for someone with means, intelligence, and opportunity (ie. someone like Cinder) to assassinate someone under the guise of a botched mission
