Thefts on Campus: What Can We Do?

Back21/03/2025

Unfortunately, several thefts have been reported at the university in recent weeks. Tackling this issue requires a joint effort from all of us. On the operational side, we are reinforcing the attention and effectiveness of our security services. At the same time, we kindly ask all faculty, staff, and students to keep a close eye on their valuables.

Following recent incidents, we have requested that our security provider strengthen protection measures across campus.

An additional security guard will be stationed in the Zsibongó area to enhance personal and property protection.
The responsibilities and authority of our guards are being reaffirmed: within legal limits, they are expected to intervene in incidents to protect individuals and their belongings.
We are also re-emphasizing expectations regarding the guards’ professional attitude—and will request personnel changes if necessary.
The expansion of our CCTV system is ongoing, and we are supporting police investigations with footage from existing cameras.

As an open university—especially with our E Building being a landmark—our community spaces cannot be fully sealed off. While the expanded security team is tasked with observing suspicious behavior or individuals, it’s important to note that potential offenders may blend in and not appear conspicuous.

This is why we urge all members of our community—faculty, staff, and students alike—to be extra cautious with their personal belongings:

Do not leave your valuables unattended, even for a short time!
Make use of lockers and lockable storage areas provided by the university.

In many cases, the university first hears about incidents via social media. We kindly ask that all thefts or suspicious events be reported directly.

For assistance or to report an incident, please contact our Campus Security Service at: +36 1 482 5199.
