Commission on Personal Safety

The Commission on Personal Safety addresses issues that have a direct bearing on the personal safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the Bloomington campus. The Commission was initially established by proclamation of the IUB Chancellor in 1987 to address women’s safety on campus. Now the mission has expanded to include pedestrian and bicycle safety, sexual assault prevention, coordination with other campus safety units, and facilities and lighting.

The Commission accomplishes most of its work through its standing committees: Sexual Assault Prevention, Bicycle/ Pedestrian Safety, and Facilities and Services, all of which have representation on the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is co-chaired by the Dean for Women's Affairs and the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Dean of Students. In addition, representatives from IUSA, faculty, students, Safety Escort Service, Sexual Assault Crisis Service, the IUB Police Department, and the Protective Order Project serve on the Executive Committee. Adhoc committees are occasionally established as well.

Faculty, staff and students interested in volunteering to work on a Standing Committee or assist the Commission on Personal Safety should contact the Office for Women's Affairs at 855-3849 or e-mail cps@indiana.edu for further information.
