Campus Safety

     

 
     Campus safety is everyone’s responsibility. The university, given its role in providing a safe campus free of undue risks, is expected to do so, but we cannot and should not leave it entirely to the university. Students and faculty/staff members should also play a key role. After all, their personal safety and well-being can be at risk if something unfortunate happens.  Potential issues that might undermine campus safety include fire risks, thefts, harassment, or even assaults.

      To safeguard campus safety, students and faculty/staff members, as members of the campus community, should be alert to their surroundings.  For example, if they spot anyone suspicious, they should report it to a security guard of the university right away so that immediate action can be taken. Should a fire alarm go off, they should go to a safe place at once, following the fire drill rules. They should also exercise their own best judgement when they are on campus. A word of advice is never work too late into the night on campus as it is not safe to go home late at night.  To sum up, both the university and the campus community should join hands in ensuring that the campus is a safe environment to study and work in, and the campus community should be aware of their surroundings, make reports to the university as necessary, and act sensibly.
