Dear Faculty and Staff:<br><br>
As chancellor, one of my foremost responsibilities is the safety of our
campus. I am therefore writing to apprise you of steps we are
taking to implement the new emergency notification system. This
service enables rapid emergency communications to the entire campus
community via a variety of technologies, including text messaging,
e-mail, and voice mail. For the system to be effective the active
participation of every member of our UCR community is essential.
<br><br>
We have previously encouraged you to sign up by providing your personal
communication information. While the voluntary response has been
encouraging, it has fallen far short of the level required to achieve the
level of safety we all want. If you followed the news of the recent
tragedy at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Northern
Illinois University, you know that that campus’ emergency notification
system functioned to provide the entire campus community with updates
every 15 minutes. UCR, too, has that capacity for notification, but
it will work only if all members of our campus community have joined the
system.<br><br>
I have therefore asked our emergency planners to develop an approach that
will assure that every student, staff, and faculty member is offered a
choice to either “opt in” or “opt out” of this service.
This means that you simply visit the following web site, log in, and make
a decision about participating in UCR’s emergency notification
system. I encourage you to take a moment and do so now:<br><br>
<a href="http://emergencyregistration.ucr.edu/">
http://emergencyregistration.ucr.edu/</a><br><br>
On May 5th of this year, faculty and staff who have not made an opt-in or
opt-out decision will be required to do so when logging into various
campus on-line business systems. If you have already elected an
option, you will be allowed to proceed with your transaction.
Otherwise, you will be prompted to make a choice. We are mindful
that not all of you have regular need for access to our on line systems,
so special provisions will be put in place to assure that everyone is
offered the same opportunity. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><br><br>
Over the course of the coming months, we will be testing the system to
ensure that it works. We will do this incrementally, with adequate
notice to assure that we do not inadvertently cause alarm. More details
of that testing will be provided in the near future.<br><br>
No system of communication is guaranteed to reach every individual under
every set of circumstances, so we will continue to assess our
communication strategies over time and augment our capabilities as we
believe it would benefit the campus. In addition, we continue to
implement other safety measures, as described in the attachment.<br><br>
I thank you for taking a moment to sign up for the best system currently
at our disposal.<br><br>
Sincerely,<br><br>
<br><br>
Robert D. Grey<br><br>
Acting Chancellor<br><br>
Attachment: Measures to Assure Campus Safety/Security<br><br>
