Violence & Active Assailant

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.
