As our city and nation seek to make reforms that improve public safety for ALL people, the University of Washington is undertaking changes to Seattle campus safety protocols, including changes to the UW Police Department and developing non-police responses to welfare checks and campus safety concerns. The UW is committed to transparency and collaboration in working toward a campus environment in which everyone can feel safe and welcome.
President Ana Mari Cauce, Vice President for Student Life Denzil Suite and SafeCampus Manager Gillian Wickwire hosted a virtual town hall on Friday, October 30, where they shared information on recent changes and future planning, and responded to questions from the UW community about this important and ongoing discussion.
