<p>I’m in complete agreement with class2011. Clery requires timely notification and doesn’t require evacuations of buildings. In fact, I’m not sure why ENS messages regarding threats on certain dorms are sent to the entire community. If you are a resident of the threatened dorm, then yes, you should receive a notice at whatever crazy time the threat is made. If you aren’t a resident of that dorm, you shouldn’t receive the ENS. Also, if there is security in place, there is no need to order the evacuation of buildings. They should know what’s in the building. The administration is just feeding the beast. If they stop the standing policy of always evacuating, most likely the threats will stop too. If they feel threats aren’t credible and are able to clear buildings quickly,then they never should have evacuated them to begin with.</p>
<p>I work in a secure building with people who are “actually in the field.” We don’t evacuate for threats or suspicious packages.</p>
