UC Text Alert System Is Now Opt-Out
On February 13, UC replaced its previous opt-in text messaging alert system with a new, more inclusive opt-out program. This means that all students and faculty who have provided cell phone numbers to UC will be placed on the text alert subscription list unless they remove themselves.
According to the UC Public Safety office, situations which would call for text alerts to be sent out include natural disasters (such as tornados, blizzards, or chemical spills) as well as other active crime events. Off-campus crimes may not be cause for emergency messages to be sent out, but timely warnings will be sent out as required by law.
In the words of Michael Cureton, the UC Public Safety Director and Police Chief, "In the event of an active shooting that targets a person without provocation and no intent to steal property, an emergency text-message would be sent to the entire campus community."
UC believes that these changes will be a helpful addition to already abundant security measures, providing students will a safer learning and living environment.
Any students, faculty, or staff wishing to opt-out of the alert system may update their directory listings by visiting the OneStop website or by visiting https://ucdirectory.uc.edu/updates/clslogin.asp.
