The guiding principle at The University of Alabama is to promote the personal safety of students, faculty and staff, and UAPD continues to investigate and has been in contact with the FBI in identifying sources of the postings. Overnight, UAPD responded to messages sent to UA students that proved to be false. UAPD was able to identify a student who sent one of the prank messages. Although the ongoing social media conversation continues to fuel rumors and speculation and generate additional inaccuracies, the campus community is encouraged to continue its normal routine. Classes will continue as scheduled and UA will maintain normal operations. Faculty members should work with students who present concerns or fears related to these incidents. Students who need to talk with someone should contact The UA Counseling Center at 1000 South Lawn Office Building (1101 Jackson Avenue). The Center is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center may be reached at 205-348-3863. Students who have concerns about their safety are encouraged to go to myBama and to sign up for Rave Guardian, an app that will immediately alert UAPD if a student becomes concerned about his/her safety. Additional information about safety can be found in the Safer Living Guide at police.ua.edu/slg.html. Any suspicious activity should be reported to UAPD immediately at 205-348-5454.
