-The safest thing to do is to stay at home. University officials used their Emergency Notification System to warn students to use good judgment and be careful. “Night disturbances” might occur in Schenley Plaza today.

If you must protest, here are a few suggestions from the University police, the ACLU and the Citizens Police Review Board:

-Paint important phone numbers on your body in case you lose your phone.

-Wear a medical alert bracelet if you have health problems.

-Never protest alone. Bring a friend for protection.

-Do not throw things or destroy property.

-Research the issues before you join protests.

-Avoid protesting if you have immigration or legal problems.

-If you are injured, be sure to document your injuries if you wish to file a report.
