Incident on Laney Campus 8/17/23

Dear Laney Community:

Yesterday at approximately 1 PM, there was an incident involving battery on a Laney College employee on campus in the upper G area in one of the restrooms. At present, district safety has a heightened presence on campus.  Furthermore, there is positive identification of the suspect, and an investigation is going forward.  That said, persons having additional information should contact Tim Thomas or Amy Marshall (copied).

 As we are returning to campus and experiencing more foot traffic, please exercise caution in public areas. Wherever possible, a good precaution is to travel on campus with at least one other person and exercise special caution in more restricted, closed areas such as restrooms. 

If you see or experience any potentially dangerous or hazardous situation, please notify district campus security at (510) 466–7236, as that number is answered 24 hours a day.   Also, please note that I have copied both Tim, Thomas and Amy Marshall with District public safety on this message, and you may email them directly if you wish.

We have a great semester ahead of us, but I ask during this time that you please be careful when you are on our campus.

Sincerely,

Rudy Besikof

Laney College President
