Civil Disturbance
Main Content
In the event of a civil disturbance or large-scale demonstration:
- Notify Public Safety if access in or out of university buildings are blocked, or if it appears campus safety may be endangered.
- Avoid disturbance as much as possible. Avoid provoking or obstructing demonstrators.
- If the disturbance is outside, stay indoors and away from doors or windows.
- Evacuate the building or other areas as directed by law enforcement or Public Safety.
- Public Safety may initiate a “soft lockdown” or require identification to access any
affected DePaul University facilities.
