The University of Alabama is a complex organization, and University employees may receive requests for information or interviews related to legal issues or sensitive media matters. University employees contacted by investigators, reporters, law enforcement or others seeking University information are not expected to handle these matters alone. Campus resources and staff are designated to provide appropriate responses in order to protect all students, employees and the University while also cooperating with any government inquiries or investigations. Below is a list of people to assist with these matters.
