As you may have heard in recent news reports, the FBI has warned of anticipated “armed protests being planned in all 50 state capitals” Jan. 16 through at least Inauguration Day on Jan. 20. You may choose to avoid the area in and around the Colorado Capitol in Denver during this time.
The CU Office of the President is encouraging employees to stay away from its offices at 1800 Grant St. in Denver on Wednesday, Jan. 20, given the offices’ proximity to the state Capitol.
CU Boulder classes continue to occur remotely, and campus leadership does not anticipate disruptions of campus operations. We also have received no indication from law enforcement of planned actions in the Boulder area.
We recognize that civil unrest at the nation’s Capitol and threats of further action around the country have been distressing for many. The university has a variety of resources available to students, faculty and staff.
Please be safe and practice self-care. Do not hesitate to use the support services available to you.
