Late night or early morning, call the University Police Department, 935.5555. Avoid dark vacant areas on campus. If the follower persists, then run and scream. Do not worry about appearing foolish. Noise is your best defense.
Thieves are more likely to get away with items that are visible on desks or dresser tops.
If a stranger needs to use your telephone for an emergency, offer to make the call yourself. Read appropriate sections of the University Judicial Code. If you decide that the University should take disciplinary action, you must contact the University Judicial Administrator. Contacting the University Police does NOT mean that proceedings under the University Judicial Code will be initiated on your behalf. Contact the Judicial Administrator at the Office of Student Affairs, 935.4962, Women s Building 27.
