Dear Members of the SUNY Oswego Community–
It has come to our attention that students across the country, including some from SUNY Oswego, have received deeply disturbing text messages today. To be clear, this type of message has no place at our institution.
This matter has already been referred to New York State law enforcement agencies, and our University Police department is aware and ready to take action if necessary. Anyone who has received these disturbing text messages, or has any information about them, is asked to call University Police 24 hours a day at 1-315-312-5555 or by dialing 5555 on a campus telephone.
Support is available for SUNY Oswego students, faculty, and staff members who are impacted by these messages.
- Students may visit Counseling Services at the Mary Walker Health Center, or receive assistance 24 hours a day by calling 1-315-312-4416.
- Faculty and staff members may seek assistance from the Employee Assistance Program by calling the EAP Program Coordinator, Mangala Nanthakumar, at 1-315-312-5546 or after hours and on weekends by calling 1-800-822-0244, which is staffed 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding harassment, please contact Deputy Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer and Affirmative Action Officer Anneke McEvoy via email at [email protected] or by calling 315-312-2238. You may also report incidents of bias via the Bias Prevention and Response Team website.
Again, bigotry, hatred, and intolerance have no place on our campus.
Remain well,
Peter O. Nwosu
President
