  • Campus Master Plan
    The Catholic University of America Washington, D.C. 2012 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN APRIL 2012 Letter from the President To The Catholic University of America and the Citizens of the District of Columbia, I consider it my distinct privilege, as President of The Catholic University of America, to share The Catholic University of America 2012 Campus Master Plan with you. This planning document --- the result of great effort on the part of many --- presents the foundation for our anticipated, continued enhancement of The Catholic University of America campus environment. The Catholic University of America was established in 1887 by the Catholic Church in the United States as a graduate research center, modeled after the great European universities of the nineteenth century. Dedicated to the advancement of learning in the light of Christian revelation, the University is home to 12 schools and 21 research facilities. Today our institutional mission extends to graduate and professional studies, as well as our fully integrated undergraduate program. Our community of research, teaching, and learning exists to serve the Church, the Washington metropolitan area, the nation, and the world. During the past fourteen months the University has developed a Strategic Plan to implement its vision for the future. Our Strategic Plan sets forth over 200 specific actions to assist in achieving the University’s four goals, which seek to 1) promote the distinctive Catholic culture of the University; 2) strengthen academic excellence; 3) enhance the student collegiate experience; and, 4) improve the experience of work. Our Campus Master Plan, developed in tandem with our Strategic Plan, addresses improvements to our facilities and landscape to support these goals.

  • (HSA) Program in All Residence Halls on Campus Sponsored By: Senator Kirby Co-Sponsored By: Senator Longo
    Resolution 034 A Resolution to Implement the Hall Security Assistant (HSA) Program in All Residence Halls on Campus Sponsored by: Senator Kirby Co-sponsored by: Senator Longo Whereas, There are approximately 1,890 students living at CUA across sixteen of the seventeen residence halls on campus, and student safety is the university's main priority for these students. Whereas, “The Public Safety Assistants (PSA) program is part of the Department of Public Safety. PSAs are not security officers or special police officers, and therefore are not expected to enforce or attempt to enforce any laws or make apprehension of suspects who violate the law. PSAs monitor the entrances of resident halls seven days a week during the academic school year from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. The PSAs check identification of persons entering the residence hall. Non- residents must sign in and be escorted in by a resident.” Whereas, “The HSAs serve as a security monitors who ensure the building is safe and secure, observe concerns or issues that might arise around the building, and report information as necessary to the Resident Assistants or Community Directors. The HSA serves as a resource to the residents and develops relationships within the neighborhood. The HSA serves as a key resource to students who need immediate assistance.” Whereas, The HSA program is under Residence Life and the PSA program is under the Department of Public Safety. Whereas, There is inconsistency regarding which residence halls have what type of check-in security. Flather Hall, Regan Hall, Ryan Hall, and Gibbons Hall do not have the HSA program, but have PSAs instead, and Seton Wing (of Caldwell Hall), and Caldwell Hall do not have any security program implemented.
