[Pols-announce] help with harassment on campus and in Lawrence

[Haider-Markel, Donald Patrick]

During this election week we are hearing reports of students getting harassed.


If you are interested in supporting these students, The Office of International Programs is organizing a group of people that can safely escort students to and from class.

Tiffany Learned, the ISS programming coordinator, and the director of ISS, Chuck Olcese, are putting together a list of names of people who would be willing to either give students rides or simply walk with them to class.

If you would like your name added, please email Tiffany with your contact info. Students will be able to call the ISS front desk (864-3617) and will be redirected to her desk phone, at which point she will contact a safety escort via groupme. Alternatively students may text Tiffany at 785-917-9279<tel:785-917-9279>.

Want to help? Please email Tiffany Learned at tlearned at ku.edu<mailto:tlearned at ku.edu> and send your name and phone number.
