CAMPUS UPDATES ON 11/9 INCIDENT

CAMPUS UPDATES ON 11/9 INCIDENT

We have heard our community's security concerns related to the incidents over the last week and are taking a number of immediate measures to ensure our campus safety and well-being, which is our utmost priority.

New Measures

  • Badge-only access for all campus buildings—effective Monday, November 14 
  • Clarification on emergency procedures (shelter in place vs. timely warning vs. lockdown) on our website and delivered to your campus mailbox—by next week
  • Safety & Security Committee comprised of employees and students—meeting next week
  • Improved parent/guardian communications—in progress
  • Resident Assistants accompanied by professional Residence Life staff during late-night rounds—in progress
  • Group therapy sessions for students—coming weeks
Continued Measures

  • Additional CRPD presence on and around campus
  • Increased patrols by Public Safety officers and escort service for students/employees
  • Shuttle service from main campus to RAC and PAC during open RAC hours (departs on the hour from Busse Center atrium)
  • Tunnel access from 6:00 AM-11:00 PM
Measures We’re Exploring

  • Additional spaces on campus to improve and/or implement cameras
  • Nighttime walk-through to identify any spaces on campus that are not well lit
  • Customer service training for employees
  • CRPD partnerships for Rave alerts and substation in College District
  • Visible ID cards for employees
