Planning for Demonstrations, Protests, and Civil Unrest on Higher Ed Campuses. Fact Sheet
Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center (REMS)
While institutions of higher education (IHEs) encourage freedom of expression, critical thinking, and the dynamic exchange of ideas, they have also historically been the setting for social and political demonstrations. It is important for university leaders to collaborate closely with safety, security, and emergency management partners. This fact sheet provides information on the types of protests and demonstrations at IHEs, the importance of protecting student voices and their right to protest while maintaining safety, considerations for campus safety leaders and partners, and emergency management planning and developing a Protest/Civil Unrest Annex.
