COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS, 305 East 23rd Street Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject contacted the UT Police Department to request a key assist into a 1st floor computer lab. The officer, doing due diligence, learned the subject was not affiliated with The University of Texas and had entered the computer lab earlier in the day. A UT student provided the subject his log-on credentials so the subject could “surf” the internet. When the subject returned to the computer lab after a restroom break, he discovered the lab door was locked. In addition to being denied access to the lab, the subject also received a written criminal trespass warning and was escorted form the building. Occurred on 06/04/14 at 7:50 PM. Crime Prevention Tip From Our Friends at the UT Information Security Office: You are responsible for protecting your information resources from unauthorized electronic access by using effective passwords (or other access controls) and by safeguarding those passwords. Although you may believe that the data you store on a UT Austin computer system need no protection from access, remember that an insecure account may provide an access point for the entire computer system. Persons attempting to gain unauthorized access to a system do so through user accounts, and your password may be the only safeguard against such access. NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE ELSE, even people you trust, such as your friends or relatives or someone who has offered to help you fix a problem. If you suspect someone may have discovered or guessed your password, change it immediately. JESTER WEST, 201 East 21st Street Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A responsible UT New Student Orientation participant called the police department with concerns about his orientation roommate who had returned to the dorm room in a state of intoxication. The roommate crawled into bed and promptly demonstrated his body’s protest of the earlier ingested libations. The roommate was deemed to not be publically intoxicated but had consumed alcoholic beverages while under the legal drinking age of 21. No charges were filed under the medical amnesty UT Policy and State Law. Occurred on 06/05/14 at 5:00 AM. Did You Know: Both the Great State of Texas and The University of Texas at Austin have Medical Amnesty laws and policies. Essentially, the Medical Amnesty regulations are in place to protect minors from legal sanctions by the state or university disciplinary action if they call for medical assistance for themselves or another who are experiencing an alcohol related emergency. In order for amnesty to apply, the person calling for help must remain on scene and provide assistance to any medical or law enforcement personnel who arrive to help.
