This past fall, Brandeis University retained Margolis Healy and Associates, LLC and Brenda Bond-Fortier (PhD ’06) to: 1) engage the Brandeis community in conversations to re-imagine the future of Campus Safety; and 2) to assess current safety-related protocols, procedures, and practices within the Public Safety Department. The consultants met with hundreds of members of the Brandeis community through open forums, focused group meetings, interviews, and meetings with the City of Waltham officials. The final report, which includes several recommendations for the future of campus safety, is now available and can be viewed here.
For additional information regarding the community input process and other particulars about this report visit the website for the Office of the Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration
