Employees and Students Safe

�ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼����’s campus sustained damage overnight Saturday from protests that spread throughout much of downtown. None of the students or staff on campus were injured and �ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼���� Police were present to ensure their safety.

Four �ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼���� buildings along Euclid Avenue sustained minimal damage, including broken windows and graffiti. �ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼���� Facilities Services employees were on site Sunday morning to assess the damage and make needed repairs.

Until further notice, only designated essential employees should be on campus. Any students, faculty or staff on campus or in other areas of downtown are reminded to adhere to the City of Cleveland’s curfew, from noon Sunday to 8 a.m. Monday, and to shelter in place during that time. Any members of the �ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼���� community downtown who have imminent concerns for their safety should call 911 or contact �ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼���� Police at 216-687-2020.

“The safety and security of our students, faculty and staff is our most important priority,” said Cleveland State President Harlan Sands, who visited the campus this morning.

�ϰ������ϲʿ�����¼���� is a public urban research university with an enrollment of more than 15,000 students and 1,200 faculty and staff.
