Administrative Message

January 25, 2006

To: Campus Community

From: Chancellor Denice D. Denton and Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor David S. Kliger

Re: Vandalism on campus: message from Chancellor and Campus Provost

We want to inform all students, staff, and faculty about a series of incidents of vandalism that have been reported recently.

January 3 - Ten doors of administrative and faculty offices were kicked in at Cowell College (occurred during the break)

January 17 - 23 doors of administrative and faculty offices were kicked in at Stevenson College

January 17 - Windows on two University vehicles were broken at the Blacksmith Shop parking lot

January 17 - New electronic display trailer was damaged by rocks, and wiring was torn

January 17 - Hole kicked in wall of bathroom at Cowell Coffee Shop

January 20 - Door at Casa Latina (Merrill College) was pried open with a crow bar

January 23 - Seven doors of administrative and faculty offices were kicked in at Cowell College Faculty Annex

We have no way of knowing who is responsible for these acts. If you are aware of events of this sort, we would appreciate it if you would contact the campus police, so we can track and investigate such episodes. (Call 9-1-1 from campus phones; dial 459-2345 from other phones.)

Also, please recall that the Campus Provost provided in his message of last October 14 earlier examples of vandalism, along with a reminder that such behavior is unacceptable. To repeat from that message, we must make it clear that vandalism, threats, acts of hatred, and violence have no place in our community. We must discourage the use of confrontation and violence and ensure that all community members can live and work freely without fear of intimidation or physical harm. Together, we must consider creative ways to engage our campus community in activities that provide opportunities for expression in ways that uphold our Principles of Community.
