Recently, the University Senates Conference put together an educational document designed to inform University of Illinois System employees about the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and the UIS Campus Senate is working with pertinent stakeholders on campus to distribute the information to all employees.

UIS is committed to protecting minors that visit campus so they can enjoy the wonderful events and programs our community offers. For departments that want to offer programs to minors, our Protection of Minors page has detailed information on planning and hosting an event for young visitors.

The UIS Police Department presents training classes on ways to minimize your risk during an active shooter / active threat incident. The next class will be on Thursday, October 5th, at 10:00am in Brookens Auditorium. The class will be approximately 1 hour in length. These classes will help you prepare for an active shooter incident and provide a forum to ask questions so you may become better educated on the actions that you can take to stay safe during this type of critical incident.
