Nevada students, employees and others concerned about campus safety can now submit reports through Eyes Open, a systemwide program active at public colleges and universities across the state. The Nevada System of Higher Education says the portal, at EyesOpen.nevada.edu, sends concerns to trained behavioral intervention teams. Those teams include people with expertise in counseling, human resources, student support and campus police or security, who assess each report and decide whether support or further action is warranted. A submission is not automatically classified as a threat. University Police Department teams led the effort, which is available across NSHE campuses, including UNLV, the College of Southern Nevada, Nevada State University and the Desert Research Institute. The system said education and training will continue as the program becomes part of campus life. Eyes Open grew out of the 2023 shooting at UNLV that killed three faculty members, NSHE said. Board of Regents Chair Stephanie Goodman said in a statement that students cannot succeed when they are worried about their safety, and described the program as a response to students’ calls for safer campuses. Arnold Vasquez, chief of police for the University Police Department’s Southern Command, said people may be unsure whether a concern is serious enough to report. The point of sharing it, he said, is to let trained professionals evaluate the situation rather than asking the person who noticed it to make that call alone.
