If you find yourself in the position of trying to figure out what to do about a fellow student who is in medical distress due to alcohol or other substance use, you don't have to worry that doing the right thing will get you or the student in distress in trouble.

Dear university community, we hear your concerns and anger, and we share your feelings regarding the serious allegations of sexual misconduct on our campus and across the nation.

Hey Hawkeyes! Like many of you, we are excited that the 2020 home football season begins this Saturday for our beloved Hawkeyes. This is undoubtedly an exciting time for many of us, however, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you of some of this year’s unique policies. As you are likely aware, fans are not allowed in the stadium for the games per B1G Ten Conference mandate, nor will tailgating be allowed.

To preserve the critical university mission of student success, all student engagement efforts and registered student organization activities are strongly encouraged to be moved to a virtual format. We have a shared responsibility to the communities in which we live, learn, work, and serve. By limiting the number of students, employees, and community members involved with in-person activities we will reduce the potential exposure to and spread of the virus – not only through our student population but many of the vulnerable community members living in the greater Iowa City area.

Good afternoon, on August 15, all students were notified of the Code of Student Life and the Accountability Procedure used to respond to allegations that students have engaged in behavior which may violate campus policies. In observing individuals on campus as residence hall students have moved in, and countless other students have moved to Iowa City, I want to acknowledge the high level of compliance seen on university property.

Staff members in the Associate Vice President and Dean of Students organization care about the health and safety of our campus community. In congruence with the direction of the University of Iowa, we are making some changes to the way in which we’ll provide services moving forward.
