New (Weekly) · The Weekly Round
The past week in campus alerts
Every Monday at 8 AM Eastern, a new round posts here: every notable incident we can document where a US college or university sent a campus-wide alert during the week that just ended. Come back Mondays — this is the go-to spot for anything new from the past week.
Each round covers Monday through Sunday of its week, by when the incident occurred. Rounds keep improving after they post: when the exact alert text of an incident is recovered later, it joins its week’s round with the wording verified word-for-word.
