The guidelines below should be followed in case of any suspected or confirmed terrorist attack: • If you find something suspicious after opening a parcel or letter, do not panic. Put the parcel down and cover the item with minimal disturbance. Thoroughly wash your hands or body parts that might have been exposed with warm water and soap, and remove potentially contaminated clothing if necessary. Then call the Security Control Center on ext. 8999 or on the direct line 2358 8999. If you are outside the campus, call the police on 999. • If you learn about a suspected or confirmed attack in the same building you are in, evacuate in an orderly manner and follow the instructions of security or law enforcement personnel. • If there is a suspected or confirmed attack in the vicinity, stay indoors and pay attention to public announcements through TV or radio. DIVERSE & INCLUSIVE CAMPUS The University is committed to creating and maintaining a diverse, inclusive and open campus environment in which HKUST members including students are treated with fairness, presented with equality of opportunities, with diversity valued and respected. The University opposes, and will proactively challenge and eliminate, any form of discrimination and harassment, prejudices and biases to ensure a level playing field, regardless of any individual characteristics. In a diverse and complex institution, there are inevitably misunderstandings, elements of misinformation and moments of confusion. Students who feel they are unfairly treated or being discriminated/harassed in any way may seek assistance from the supervisor(s), the relevant DEO Resource Person, Residence Master and/or the Hall Tutor. Magic formula for a happy and enriching life in a diverse community: • Show respect for others, e.g. using inclusive language • Be considerate and sensible • Stay open-minded STAYING SAFE
