TAMPA, Fla. — USF said it has contacted 50 off-campus housing providers and invited them to adopt "safety and security standards."
USF president Moez Limayem said in a letter posted on June 26 to the USF community, “Off-campus property owners who adopt our standards will be able to market themselves as part of USF’s Off-Campus Housing Network.”
Limayem said the invitation for the off-campus providers includes a comprehensive Safety Review Resource developed by the USF Police Department.
