As you may be aware, an encampment began on Thursday, April 25, 2024, and a counter-protest has recently emerged nearby. These occurrences have prompted us to carefully consider the safety and well-being of our entire community.

As leaders of the Auraria Campus, we take great pride in our Auraria community and are committed to the well-being of our students, faculty, and staff, and to protecting everyone’s right to freedom of speech, expression, petition, religion, and peaceful assembly.
