Violence & Active Assailant

Violence and Active Shooter header

The increased visibility of campus violence, particularly campus shootings, have generated
questions about the safety of college campuses. While shootings may be the most visible
form of campus violence, they are not the most commonplace. Southeastern makes every
effort to ensure the safety of its students from all forms of violence including sexual
violence and physical assault.

Campus safety takes the cooperation of the entire university community taking steps
to make Southeastern a safe campus for all. Seeking assistance, reporting concerns
and speaking out are all ways bystanders can intervene when they see problematic situations
arise.

Below are some tips to be aware of to increase one’s own safety on campus

What You Should Do

If you believe you are in immediate danger, call UPD 985-549-2222 or 911.

Take direct threats of harm seriously and contact the authorities.

If unsure but are concerned about the possibility of someone posing a danger to themselves
or others, contact University Police, University Counseling Center or Student Accessibility
Services.

Always err on the side of caution by contacting a university department if you have
concerns.
