What is this notice? Campus Crime Alerts are released by the University of Oregon Police Department when certain crimes are reported on or near campus property, and in compliance with federal law. These timely warnings provide information about campus safety situations and allow campus community members to take precautions for personal safety. All crimes should be reported as soon as possible to local law enforcement.  

SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD  

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for his or her victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects. The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance. 

• Communities are safest when members look out for each other: Report any suspicious activity or unauthorized strangers immediately. 
• Secure your belongings and don’t leave them unattended.
• Make sure doors and windows are locked. 
• Don’t hold doors open for unknown people to let them enter private, secure areas. 
• Be alert traveling to, from, and around campus – especially at night. 
• Carry a well-charged cell phone with emergency numbers pre-programmed.
• Bystanders should try to be aware of their surroundings, and if there are signs of a person in distress, bystanders should make themselves known and offer assistance if it is safe to do so, and/or seek immediate help from police or security personnel.   
• Report criminal activity (such as a break-in or intruder, robbery, or assault) immediately to 9-1-1, or for non-emergency situations on campus, to UOPD at 541-346-2919.

On Friday night, Jan. 9, 2026, around 8:30 p.m., a person attempted to open a window of a vacant house at 1822 Moss Street in a campus construction area across from Kalapuya Ilihi residence hall. The person was scared off by construction staff.

Ten to 15 minutes later, a fire started and was quickly extinguished by the construction staff. The fire was later determined by the Eugene-Springfield Fire Marshal to be arson.
