University of Chicago Dean-on-Call Program
The Dean-on-Call Program features two distinct entities, the Dean-on-Call and the Sexual Assault Dean-on-Call.
Both Deans are available 24 hours a day, every day of the calendar year. They can be reached by calling the University Police (at 123 or 773-702-8181).
You may also reach the Dean-on-Call or Sexual Assault Dean-on-Call directly by calling 773-834-HELP (4357). By calling this number you will be connected to the direct paging system for the Dean-on-Call and Sexual Assault Dean-on-Call.
The University’s main campus is located in Hyde Park, a vibrant, dynamic and diverse community on the south side of Chicago. While Hyde Park offers numerous enrichment opportunities, it also presents the challenges of a complex, modern, urban society. The University takes measures to ensure a safe campus environment and provides resources in the event of an incident that may significantly impact the welfare of a member of our community.
One of the resources the University makes available to students, since the early 1980’s, is the support and guidance of a University administrator who is on call and can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This administrator is called the Dean-on-Call.
The Dean-on-Call program is a collaborative effort between Campus and Student Life (CSL) and the University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD). UCPD provides dispatch and transportation services for the Dean-on-Call program and often accompanies the Dean-on-Call when the Dean-on-Call needs to make physical contact with a student.
