In order to fulfill our teaching, research, and service missions effectively, the university must do everything in its power to provide a safe and secure environment for the entire campus community. In the event of an emergency that threatens the safety and security of the campus, university faculty will necessarily play an important role in responding to the emergency and restoring the university’s ability to carry out the core elements of our mission.
