Equity, Health & Safety
The Safety and Health Delegate serves as a resource for residents, board members, and unit representatives and provides suggestions on safety and public health issues related to the University Apartments South (UAS).
The Safety and Health Delegate is responsible for organizing a neighborhood watch and involving residents in the process.
During the year, a walkthrough is performed of the premises of UAS, and findings such as residents’ ongoing concerns are reported to the President and/or Vice President. Additionally, any maintenance, health, and safety suggestions are proposed to UAS Management, UCPD, and the UASRA Board. If need be, the UCPD Crime Prevention unit is involved and ask their assistance in addressing these issues.
