Our emergency team is also looking into temporary lighting to provide greater visibility in high-traffic areas. In addition, we installed additional exterior cameras today as part of a previously planned project. The campus Police Department is calling in Members in Black Private Security for a second night and has also requested assistance from other UC police departments. We are compiling a list of venues where activities might be taking place, so we can assign patrols where they need to be. Safe Rides are free for all students, faculty and staff. For the latter, we are drawing on the Davis Police Department for additional vans and the personnel to drive them. Our enhanced security measures include calling in officers from other UC campuses and expanding Safe Ride service. We will continue with extra security at night.
Later today, Human Resources plans to send a memo to managers and supervisors encouraging them to consider employees who work during the late/early hours and use a “buddy” program or encourage flexibility. For further information on instructional continuity, see these guidelines just issued by the Academic Senate. Daytime operations are not being modified. On my recommendation, and as approved by the Executive Council of the Academic Senate earlier this afternoon, we are pivoting to remote nighttime instruction starting today (May 2). We are also keeping our thoughts with the third stabbing victim along with her family and friends, and we wish her a full recovery.
Our entire campus community is devastated and continues to mourn his loss, as well as the loss of David Henry Breaux, known as the “Compassion Guy.” I assure you the safety of our campus community is our top priority as we deal with the rash of violent stabbings in Davis, including one that took the life of a student, Karim Abou-Najm. I urge you to read this entire message for important safety information.
I want to take a moment to address the tragic events that have shaken our community over the past week and inform you about actions we are taking, along with sharing tips and resources to enhance safety.
