Focus Area: Campus Safety and Security

Campus Safety and Security is an issue with particularly high visibility in the U.S. due to recent tragic shootings at well-known universities (Virginia Tech 2007; Northern Illinois 2008).

When a campus-based tragedy occurs, academic continuity often becomes an issue which is easy to overlook but important. For example, after the Virginia Tech shootings, students were given the option of going home with the grade they'd earned to that point in the semester or staying and finishing out the academic year, and the building where the shootings occurred was closed for several months before administrators eventually decided to reopen it. Both issues illustrate some of the many ways in which academic continuity can become an issue in crisis situations involving breaches of campus safety and security.
