Subject:RE: Action Items: Neighborhood - Student Behavior Challenges meeting
Thanks, Courtney.
My apologies for not being able to attend the last meeting. I wanted to update the group that Jason and I met today
with Christine Wallace to discuss potential mediation services to replace those previously provided by SLO Solutions.
The goal is to place a greater emphasis on proactive trainings that equip people with tools to prevent conflicts or
resolve them more easily when they arise, while also maintaining reactive services when situations escalate.
We’ve developed an initial draft outlining what these services could include and will be refining it over the next few
weeks before reconvening the group that met on this topic in December for review.
I wanted to keep this on everyone’s radar given the close nexus with neighborhood and student-related challenges,
and since it was identified as an action item from our first meeting.
Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions.
Greg

Subject: Action Items: Neighborhood - Student Behavior Challenges meeting
Hello:
Thank you for our most recent discussion on neighborhood challenges related to student behavior.
A few new next steps:
Continue to acknowledge success over the last decade as evidenced by decreased number of violations. There is
a measure of success we can already name.
University town comparisons - what data can we pull from other similar sized university towns who are
experiencing student-related noise and party issues to understand how we’re doing comparatively? Suggested
cities to explore:
Orange (Chapman)
Santa Cruz
Berkeley
Chico
Oregon State
University of Oregon
Utah State
o Understanding noise per capita in other communities? Evaluation of neighborhoods near and
far from campuses? Other communities researched in these ways?
Take above information gathering to define success moving forward - what metrics can we use to benchmark
where we’re trying to go?
City putting together a website/landing page for fraternities and sororities - CUPs.
4
Continue exploring overlay zone concepts.
Cal Poly is stepping out of the facilitator/coordinator role for these conversations. The city will set up future
meeting dates, follow up with action items and facilitate meetings and shared goals.
I included our previously identified ideas for exploration below. I know we don’t want to lose sight of those…
Of note: we’re exploring options for a student or student group to do some of this research for us. We’ll let you know if
we’re successful in that effort.
There was also conversation about how to share more publicly the efforts we’re all undertaking to get to solutions. I know
there are some planned council meetings on the topic but we can all keep that education component top of mind moving
forward as well.
Please let me know if I missed anything. Thank you!
Best,
Courtney

Hi,
We have our next Student Behavior - Neighborhood Challenges meeting on the calendar December 17th.
At the most recent meeting (Sept. 3, 2025), we were able to better understand from the city some of the areas with a
higher concentration of calls and Cal Poly went over progress we've made to date on our action items from the July
meeting (included below). We are hoping the main focus at this upcoming meeting will be on better understanding the
research and progress made on the city side (highlighted below).
Please let me know if you have any concerns. Otherwise, we’ll see you on Wednesday. Thanks.

Good morning,
Thank you for the thoughtful conversation regarding certain student behaviors and the related neighborhood challenges.
We appreciate your partnership and shared commitment to finding effective solutions for our community.
City offered to identify and bring back:
5
**data by individual neighborhoods
where are calls for service responding to?
who is calling?
City considerations:
Noise ordinance changes?
Criminal charges instead of administrative citation?
City asks of Cal Poly/CP commits to exploring:
**Greek row
**Asking to know where Fraternity and sorority sponsored events are taking place?
**host alcohol events on campus
**what on campus venues are available to them? Option to host more events on campus?
**request to require F&S to not hold events in places where city zoning laws don’t allow
**stronger language in event responses for R-1 and R-2 zones when hosting events. Offering other good options for them.
**more police enforcement off campus
Collective ideas to explore:
**mediation, potential funding from Cuesta, City, CP
**Edits to response on the fraternity and sorority life event form – zoning specifics
**Colin and small cohort of IFC presidents meet and talk about what they need and then work with CDD on shaping CUPs
and other related poilicies
Cal Poly asks of the City/City commits to explore:
**CUPs: what do they look like, what’s needed, what does the city need to consider that works for fraternities?
**Overlay zone exploration
**Greek row or zoning
**Re-evaluate codes relevant to the conversation
Future meeting:
**Didn’t get to talk about consequences through IFC judicial council and OSRR – escalating consequences for noise
ordinances.
**SCLC
**Role of landlords

Are you around a little later today? I'm prepping Whitney for an all-employee briefing she's giving in about 45 minutes,
so things are hectic right now. Maybe this afternoon?

Hi Dillon! Thank you for checking in… do you have a moment to give me a quick call? I think that might make this easier…
Unfortunately President Armstrong has a meeting at 2:00 pnm that day, so it would only give them 30 minutes and I know he
wants to honor his original commitment of time to Whitney.

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
38
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
Because we talked through it specifically, I wanted to highlight the communication plans we’re evaluating that could
include:
Media outreach and story/interview pitching with police chiefs and others
Opinion piece placements in local and out-of-area media (particularly student media at key universities in
California) to spread the word that the party is canceled in SLO, etc.
Social media outreach out of area to discourage visitors and spread the party is canceled message
Working with sister CSU and UC campuses’ communications departments and student government to help
spread the word
Robust on-campus and local social media messaging centered around celebrating responsibly and calling
attention to alternative events and to enforcement measures that will be in place.
More on this in the months to come.
Halloween: messaging and campus impacts
I know I shared the pre-Halloween communication that we sent to students with you on Oct. 24th. Here is a summary of
impacts from our High-Risk Events Task Force:
ASI - Late night Halloween event at the Rec center the Saturday before Halloween - 1200 students showed up, almost
double the attendance of the year before.
The event ended at 1AM, and many students were still in attendance all the way to the end.
UH - UH had staff and CPPD, CSO, and CSL (other roles providing eyes and ears) completing walks and providing a
presence both weekends. This seemed to be helpful. Lots of awareness around no overnight guests- seem to have less
people around the communities. We had some damage but nothing "out of the normal.”
OSRR - Pre Halloween weekend had 22 cases with 74 students, overall, 37 reports with 91 students. 3 transports over
both weekends. Working on a year over year Halloween report.
FSL - All hydration boxes were utilized with no leftovers and have not heard any negative response from OSRR or the
students.
L&S - City has decided not to partner with Cal Poly in the future. Community clean up event with 40 student volunteers.
DOS - There were instances of vandalism on campus on Halloween night, and facilities worked quickly to get it cleaned up
and President Armstrong met with the impacted student communities.
City of SLO - City/community had brought up a question on why Cal Poly did not have an event on Halloween itself
- mainly due to the time frame of Halloween falling on a weekday. Next year, Halloween falls on a Friday.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-

Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our

own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
