VIEW THE MARCH 2023 Progress Report
The Reimagining Campus Safety Implementation Team is charged with taking action on the following recommendations of the Reimagining Campus Safety Action Committee (RSCAC):
- Providing non-law enforcement response options for mental health, basic needs, crisis intervention, and follow-up.
- Investing in holistic safety services, including mental health, case management, well-being, and basic needs.
- Creating a Presidential Campus Safety and Accountability Board that includes marginalized campus members and representatives of shared governance, as well as the broader UI community. The group will solicit ongoing feedback, identify metrics and measures of success, communicate concerns and recommendations, and be transparent in sharing information with the UI community.
- Collaborate with local public safety and community officials to align UI and surrounding community safety protocols in support of a holistic response approach
The implementation team also will develop metrics to report the progress being made on the recommendations and will outline how it will evaluate and continually improve policies, practices, and safety on campus, including developing and piloting sustainable models of listening to the campus community throughout the implementation process.
