Your Safety is Our Priority

The safety of the Case Western Reserve community is the university’s top priority. Any individual who engages in violent or threatening behaviors on campus is in violation of university standards.

But what do you do when you feel your safety—or that of one of your colleagues or students—is in danger? Call police? Contact your supervisor? Report it to university officials? The answer, for all three, is yes.

Case Western Reserve offers a variety of services and resources to ensure the safety of campus, including a list of action steps to take in both emergency and non-emergency situations, Campus Concerns Committees that address worrisome and potentially dangerous situations, and a large list of resources to help keep you safe.

  • Vocal Threats/Hostility

  • Intimidating Gestures
