  • Establishes clear requirements for reporting known or suspected minor abuse or neglect.
  • Creates 鈥済uidelines for working with minors鈥 for those who are involved in programs involving minors.
  • Requires training on sexual misconduct for those who will work alone with or spend the night in residence halls with minors.
  • Requires certain categories of adults who participate in programs or activities involving minors to clear criminal background checks.

In addition to the steps the University has taken, there are important things you can do to protect your child:

  • In case of an emergency, one should immediately call University Campus Safety at (303) 871-3000, or the at 911.
