The discussion is free and open to the public, and registrants will be emailed Zoom connection details closer to the event.
Considering Campus Police Alternatives
Students and faculty will work together to consider an alternative to CWRU’s campus police. The goal is to increase the safety and well-being of our campus community, in particular, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC). One idea for a police alternative is to create student volunteer wellness teams. Join the Office of the Provost in discussions every other Saturday. For more information, contact Brooke N. Macnamara at bnm24@case.edu.
