To support the University of Utah’s commitment to safety, diversity, and inclusion, the Office of the Chief Safety Officer (CSO) recently hired a new liaison to coordinate community engagement initiatives with organizations across campus, as well as implement new response protocols developed by the Racist and Bias Incident Response Team. Special Assistant to the CSO Brian Nicholls will work closely with Student Affairs and the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) to evaluate and improve university safety efforts comprehensively.
“This new position is vital to achieving our vision of uniting for a safe and empowered campus community,” said Marlon C. Lynch, the U’s inaugural Chief Safety Officer. "Safety is integrated into so many aspects of campus life, and Brian will play a key role in coordinating these efforts and in building relationships with student, faculty, and staff organizations on campus.”
