The video covers these two issues as well as other issues relevant to crossing traffic on campus.

Other efforts are in effect to insure the safety of students and faculty while on campus. The SIUE Police Department is always available, and offers many services to provide protection to the campus. A list of available services such as escorts, 911, and crime alerts can be found on the SIUE Police Web site along with campus safety statistics.

Vanzo said a significant part of campus safety is the network of around 65 emergency telephones placed around campus. The university is also doing some landscaping to provide safety.

"[The landscaping] is partially because the plants have reached their life cycle," Vanzo said, "but also to provide as much safety as possible. We don't want places where people can hide."

The landscaping efforts will consist of grooming back trees and plants to help eliminate shadows as much as possible and to increase visibility.

Additional information on campus safety policies and procedures is available on the SIUE Web site.
