Demonstration Operations Team (DOT) 

The Demonstration Operations Team (DOT) is an administrative team charged by the EVC/Campus Provost office with coordinating the campus’ specific operational planning and response needs related to campus activism including demonstrations, labor relations activities, strikes and other large public events that require campus response, coordination and management. The team is coordinated by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Risk and Safety Services.

The three overarching outcome goals for DOT planning efforts include:

• Analysis and planning to support the safety needs of the campus community
• Considerations and actions to support participant First Amendment rights to freedom of expression, open dialogue and discord
• Supporting the academic mission of the university
