TO:      All CU-Boulder students

FROM:    Frank Bruno, Vice Chancellor for Administration

SUBJECT: A message on safety issues and the 420 campus gathering

We would like to take the opportunity to advise members of the community who may be participating in, or impacted by the unsanctioned "420" gathering on the CU-Boulder campus, of a few basic things to be aware of regarding the event.

The University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to the health, safety and academic success of our students, and encourages them to avoid any behavior that may put them at risk.

The campus administration believes the annual 4/20 event is not an effective way for students to influence changes in the law regarding marijuana use.

As in the past, CU-Boulder's campus police will maintain an appropriate presence as they would at any campus gathering.

CU Police will monitor the event for health and safety issues or problems.

We will treat this gathering in similar fashion as any major crowd event on campus. We ask that you be aware of your surroundings, respect the people around you, obey police and CU officials' requests at all times, and not engage in any activity that threatens your safety or the property of the campus.

As with any other gathering on campus, public safety hazards will not be permitted.  Public safety hazards include barbecue grills, glass bottles of any kind, trampolines, slack lines, water slides, and other items that create a risk for persons in the area.

Vendors will not be allowed to participate in the 4/20 gathering. Tables or other equipment that could damage university property will not be permitted.

Violators may be issued summonses.

Crowd size issues could limit immediate access to some CU buildings in some circumstances.

Thank you for your attention and your cooperation,

Frank Bruno,
Vice chancellor for Administration
