Hi everyone, I am sharing Associate Dean Griffin’s information previously shared with department leaders regarding responding to law enforcement requests in our workspaces. If you have any follow up questions, please come and see me and we’ll discuss. Thanks for all you do!

 

Best,

Christina

Hi everyone,

 

We received the following additional guidance from the Office of General Counsel:

 

  1. Law enforcement needs a warrant to enter private spaces.
  2. If law enforcement shows up with a warrant call UNL PD and the Office of General Counsel.
  3. Comply with the warrant and do not try to impede law enforcement officers.
  4. If they do not have a subpoena, you are not obligated to submit to an interview.

UNL Police Department at 402-472-2222

NU Office of General Counsel at 402-472-1201

 

From the earlier guidance, private spaces include residence halls, classrooms, and offices.  I do not anticipate additional guidance, broader university communication on this question, or any signage.  If you have specific questions and would like to talk them through, I would be happy to talk with you by phone.

 

I know you are all doing your best to manage many many hard and frankly scary things.  You are doing amazing work with energy and care.  Thank you.  We will continue to do our best to help.

 

Warm wishes,

June
