Campus management of the April 21st Shelter-In-Place

Today, May 4th, Chancellor Carol Christ, and Catherine Koshland, interim executive vice chancellor and provost, issued a Cal Message regarding the campus's response to the recent shelter-in-place , including a commitment to applying lessons learned from that event. Below is additional information the campus leaders have posted to provide the campus community with more information regarding campus emergency protocols and next steps. The April 21st shelter-in-place  event raised a number of questions and concerns about campus response efforts. Campus officials are listening to comments from the campus community and conducting assessments of the campus response effort, identifying lessons learned that will be applied to our future emergency response. We understand, however, that these efforts will not satisfy all concerns given that matters such as student privacy requirements, pending police investigations and concerns about campus safety will always inform how much information we can release to the campus and public - even when correct or incorrect detailed information is shared on social media, in press reports or via other means. To learn more about our processes and the changes we anticipate going forward, please see the information below. Transparency.
