DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY | The Department of Public Safety established this fall a Public Safety Advisory Committee with the goal of providing an avenue for more dialogue, feedback and involvement in all campus safety matters. The committee, which was noted in the Sept. 4, 2020, letter from President Timothy Law Snyder and Vice President Jennifer Abe, will work collaboratively to identify priorities and initiatives pertaining to the department, individual safety, campus security, and Clery Act compliance.
“We created the Advisory Committee so we can work in partnership with others to address community concerns.” explained Devra Schwartz, vice president of campus safety and security. “It is our intention to facilitate meaningful change through listening and engagement with a wide-range of representatives from the university. Ultimately, it is our goal to not only provide a safe environment on campus, but to ensure that our students, faculty, staff, and visitors feel safe and respected.”
The advisory committee, which will meet monthly, is composed of 18 members representing various campus groups and interests. Student, faculty, and staff members will help bring together the voices of diverse campus departments and organizations, for greater communication and dialogue with Public Safety.
