Policy on Notification of Public Danger

(TIMELY WARNING)

If a situation develops that is judged to pose a threat to the campus community, normally the Office of Public Relations will issue a statement describing the nature of the threat. In some cases which may involve a limited portion of the university community, the warning may be issued by the Department of Residential Living, the University Police, or another appropriate office. The statement will be released in one or more ways, including broadcast by the campus radio station, publication in the student newspaper, and distribution in residence halls, academic and administrative departments, the campus alert system, and/or e-mail notification when appropriate. If the situation warrants, the University Police will make and document personal notification. The University Police will maintain a log of all situations warranting a timely warning and will maintain copies of the official notices.
