The training also highlighted practical safety tools and campus resources designed to help the NAU community stay informed and prepared.

NAU’s campus bus system looks different this semester. The new Lumberjack Loop replaced three campus routes beginning Aug. 24, a change university officials say was driven by declining ridership and rising operating costs. Students have since raised concerns about crowded stops, longer travel times and the impact on getting to class.

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) hosted a protest at the du Bois Center on April 10, with over 100 students marching to the newly leased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) location off campus. The purpose of the protest was to fight against the organization’s increased presence in Flagstaff and express residents’ desire for immigrant safety.

The Flagstaff Police Department sent out a public announcement on March 26 stating that ICE was seeking to lease office space in the city.

Since March 27, 2022, El Salvador has been under a state of exception or emergency that suspended constitutional rights and allowed for mass incarceration of civilians. What began as a 30-day emergency measure transformed into an ongoing dismantlement of due process and justice in the name of public safety and security.

As a part of its war on gangs, the Salvadoran police arrested almost 100,000 people, overtaking the Central American country’s government for the world’s highest incarceration rate. Over 1.5% of El Salvador’s population is currently imprisoned.
