In compliance with the “Timely Warning” provision of the federal Jeanne Clery Campus Security Act, Augsburg University Department of Public Safety is giving notice of a situation that represents a serious or continuing threat to students and employees of the University. This timely warning aims to provide information to aid the Augsburg community in protecting themselves after a report of a serious crime. Reported Offense On 06/28/2026 at approximately 5:54 a.m., the Department of Public Safety received a report of a burglary in progress that occurred outside of a dorm room in Luther Hall. An Augsburg student reported that a male was peeking in her door and ran off after the student called for her roommate. Suspect Description No suspect information at this time. Status The Augsburg Department of Public Safety is currently investigating this incident. Anyone who may have information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Augsburg Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717. Reporting Incidents Augsburg asks its community members to report any and all concerns that may impact our campus community. If You See Something – Say Something. To report, please contact the Department of Public Safety (DPS) at 612-330-1717. You can also download the CampusShield app (through Apple or Android) to message DPS. We also encourage you to utilize the resources available on the DPS website. Safety Tips Remain vigilant against tailgating at building entrances. Ensure exterior building entrances shut completely behind you, and do not let unfamiliar people follow you inside without swiping their own fob or ID. Please call the Department of Public Safety at (612) 330-1717 to report the contact with the unfamiliar person when safe to do so. Lock doors and windows: Always lock room, apartment, and house doors – even when you are sleeping, in the shower, or stepping out for a few minutes. Lock all first and second-story windows when you leave. Never prop doors. Do not prop open residence hall or apartment complex doors, and avoid holding them open for strangers. Hide valuables from plain view. Call Public Safety or the Minneapolis Police if you see any suspicious activity. Disclaimer Augsburg University believes that physical descriptors alone are not a valid reason to profile or cast suspicion on any individual. When physical descriptors are included in communication to the Augsburg community, it is done so because they may reasonably assist in identifying the perpetrator of the incident. Augsburg University uses perceived race and gender descriptors that are provided about a suspect only when additional characteristics (beyond clothing) are also available. Such descriptors are used in an attempt to provide the campus community with important information. However, the University recognizes that race and gender are personal identity attributes that cannot always be accurately perceived by others, and that any reported information may not be accurate.

    Final assessment

    All 25 passes found the Department of Public Safety named as the issuer in the compliance lead.

    Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    All 25 passes found a burglary in progress / male peeking in a door as the hazard.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

    See all 25 individual reads

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    All 25 passes found Luther Hall and the dorm-room door as the location.

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    All 25 passes found protective Safety Tips and reporting instructions.

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

    Final assessment

    All 25 passes found 06/28/2026 at approximately 5:54 a.m. as the time.

    When the message applies. A timestamp, the word now or immediately, or a phrase like until further notice tells the reader whether the danger is current and how quickly to act.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    All 25 passes found no incident number or case identifier.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
