Message from President Killeen: COVID-19 Booster Shot Recommendation
Dear students, faculty and staff:
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff and the communities around us has been our priority. Your sacrifice and commitment have been instrumental in us maintaining our status as a national model for navigating the pandemic.
As a result of your efforts, we are close to completing a safe, successful semester and beginning to plan for the spring.
Statement of Educational Priorities
Statement of Educational Priorities of the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department at UIS
The killing of George Floyd and the state-sanctioned violence by official and non-official law enforcement that followed were not unique instances, nor were they random. These acts were predictable responses given the history of the Criminal Justice system in America.
