Entry doors to residence hall buildings are unlocked during the daytime. Any residence hall may, by majority consent, choose to secure the building at an earlier hour. After the hall is locked, residents must use their foyer keys to gain access. At NO time should a locked door be propped open or a locked door be opened for strangers. This violates the safety of the hall and puts all residents at risk.
Residents have an obligation to be concerned about the safety of all students.
Crimes and suspicious activities should be reported to the police and a residence hall staff member. Educating students about safety issues is of prime concern to the residence hall staff. Education is done through floor meetings, educational programs on special topics, fliers, posters and information placed on bulletin boards. Residents must accept responsibility for their own safety by attending the programs, keeping informed about security risks and by exercising safety-conscious behavior. Alcoholic Beverages and Controlled Substances Those who use alcoholic beverages or sponsor events involving alcohol are obliged to understand State laws and University regulations and are fully responsible for their actions.
