ALT Thank you for your message. Your message has been shared with the Provost, Senior Vice President David Wright, and the co-chairs of the Community Advisory Board. Recognizing the significance of issues you raise related to public safety, USC is moving forward with its important work through the Community Advisory Board. CAB is composed of students, faculty, staff, and community representatives and is discussing and developing recommendations related to public safety in our community. You are encouraged to participate in that process. You can provide input here, among other ways to participate.

ALT Dear Carol Folt, Reimagine Public Safety USC is a coalition of students, faculty, staff, community members, and organizations committed to building an abolitionist future on campus. We believe that DPS - which adapts the institution of policing as it pertains to University Park - is inherently violent, racist, and beyond reform. If USC is to be made safe for everyone, the university must invest in community care and in modes of public safety that don’t involve police or law enforcement.
ALT On February 15, we released a list of demands to divest from policing and invest in alternatives, which can be found here. You’ll find that we’ve set a deadline for the university to acknowledge receipt of our demands, by February 28. We cannot stress enough that constructing abolitionist public safety practices on campus is a time-sensitive issue; action taken by the university to repair the harm DPS has inflicted on BIPOC community members is long overdue.
ALT Although USC has reformed the Community Advisory Board in response to the uncovering of racist operations by DPS last summer, we doubt that the committee is making a good-faith effort in its conversations to bring about transformative change in a timely manner. Best, Reimagine Public Safety USC
