An Update on Campus Safety
Posted: September 30, 2015
Last night, we were again alerted to a troubling incident, a robbery near Upton Hall shortly before 9:00 p.m., which has elevated concerns about the safety of our students, faculty, and staff. The safety of our entire campus community is my top priority and the top priority of my colleagues in the President’s Cabinet and the University Police Department. We all understand the unease this has caused, and we are working to address your concerns in multiple ways.
