Safety
- Last week, the university conducted its semi-annual test of the CU СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Alert system. This means that, if you are signed up, you should have received a test alert on your mobile device and via email. Here are a few FAQs on CU СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Alerts.
- With October being Domestic Violence Awareness month, CU wants to remind the community of the policies in place that prohibit intimate partner abuse (including dating and domestic violence).
- On Thursday, Nov. 3, your No. 23 Colorado Buffaloes will be in the national spotlight as they host Pac-12 opponents UCLA on Fox Sports 1. While minimal disruptions outside of those usually associated with gameday activities are anticipated, members of the campus community should review their main campus plans for the day and be prepared.
- You’re a Buff wherever you are. So this Halloween, Be Aware. Be Responsible. Be Considerate.
- As Halloween weekend approaches, we’d like to encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly and have some fun. But as you do so, please take steps to ensure the health and safety of yourself and others.
- Each semester, the campus performs a test of the CU СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Alerts system to raise awareness of the platform and test the deployment of new notification methods. Elements of the rescheduled test at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 26, will include the final integration of the Alertus desktop notifications platform and testing of upgrades to the alerts.colorado.edu website.
- Text messages are accepted by СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ County’s four 9-1-1 dispatch centers, including the CU СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Police Department. While this is a great feature, there are only specific times and reasons to use this type of emergency communication.
- With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Office of Victim Assistance is sharing some warning signs of intimate partner abuse.
- This week we want to bring awareness to the issue of sexual assault on college campuses around the country. Sexual assault is a horrendous crime that needs to end. Look out for those around you and make sure your friends, sisters, brothers, colleagues and fellow students get home safely. It is time to act. It ends with us.
- Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner abuse, is best understood as a pattern of abusive behaviors–including physical, sexual, and psychological abuse as well as economic coercion–used by one intimate partner against another to gain, maintain, or regain power and control in the relationship. If you are concerned about a relationship you are in or have been, or if you are concerned about a friend’s relationship please contact CU’s Office of Victim Assistance.
