Personal Safety Tips
- Report all suspicious persons, vehicles, and activities to your University Police department immediately.
- Take valuables with you if you leave your office, residence hall or apartment for an extended period of time or buy a safe or trunk to securely store your valuables.
- Keep doors and windows locked. Report inoperable locks and latches to the appropriate maintenance personnel.
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.
