Personal Safety Tips

  • Document the stalking behaviors, even if you are unsure about reporting to the police.
  • Inform trusted neighbors, friends, family members, or classmates that you are being stalked and tell them not to give any information about you to anyone.
  • Keep your doors locked when you are in the room alone.
  • Make sure you have your cell phone and it is fully charged before going out.
  • Never leave notes on your door indicating you are out for the night or out of town for the weekend.
  • Stay with a group and avoid deserted areas.
  • Use the buddy system and watch out for each other.
       

It can be assumed that conditions continue to exist that may pose a threat to members and guests of the University community. It is the duty of the administration to warn of possible 'dangerous conditions' on or near the campus, and at affiliate organizations off campus; an 'affirmative duty' exists to warn persons associated with the University of possible peril at the hands of some third party or parties.
