Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joanne DeStefano and Vice President for Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi sent the following message Feb. 5:
On Monday, February 8, you will receive an invitation to participate in a confidential, secure survey on behalf of Cornell's Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC). Your response is important to help the PSAC understand campus community perspectives and experiences related to policing and emergency response on our Ithaca campus and to inform its recommendations to university leaders for reimagining campus security and safety.
Comprising students, faculty and staff, the PSAC advises the Cornell University Police Department (CUPD) and university leadership on issues of public safety and victims' advocacy, as well as the overall safety and well-being of Cornell's diverse community. As part of extensive diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives underway across Cornell, the PSAC is examining current CUPD policies, procedures and trainings, with its recommendations due to President Pollack later this semester.
