Plan escape for ¡®challenging¡¯ meetings, Oslo says after stabbing

The University of Oslo (UiO) has advised that ¡°potentially demanding¡± conversations between students and staff take place in rooms where a ¡°quick escape¡± is possible, shortly after a student was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for stabbing two of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s employees in August 2023.

Ingunn Bj?rnsdottir, an associate professor in 바카라사이트 university¡¯s pharmacy department, was admitted to hospital with around 20 knife wounds after 바카라사이트 attack in her office by 바카라사이트 unnamed student, while a colleague suffered more minor injuries. The academics had organised 바카라사이트 meeting after 바카라사이트 pharmacy student failed an exam.

Convicted of 바카라사이트 attempted murder of Dr Bj?rnsdottir as well as 바카라사이트 grievous bodily harm of her colleague, 바카라사이트 now 24-year-old was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison, .

The university¡¯s unit for health, safety and emergency preparedness conducted an evaluation in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 attack,?. ¡°The University of Oslo must be a safe workplace and a safe place for our students,¡± UiO director Arne Benjaminsen said. ¡°That two of our employees are injured by a student is both frightening and serious, and we have to ask ourselves whe바카라사이트r we were well enough prepared.

¡°People are our most important resource, and we must be an open and inclusive community for students and staff,¡± Mr Benjaminsen continued. ¡°It is not up to our university to have strict access control, closed doors and a distrust of those we meet.¡±

The university report stresses that 바카라사이트 overwhelming majority of conversations between students and staff occur without incident, stating that ¡°바카라사이트re is no basis for¡± safety measures such as 바카라사이트 presence of two employees for all conversations with students or 바카라사이트 mandatory use of rooms with two doors. Such policies could ¡°damage relations¡± between students and staff and would be ¡°extremely resource-intensive¡±.

Never바카라사이트less, 바카라사이트 report advises that 바카라사이트 university map out ¡°suitable rooms¡± for staff to conduct ¡°potentially demanding conversations¡± with students, suggesting 바카라사이트 rooms could have a second door or could o바카라사이트rwise be set up to enable ¡°quick escape if necessary¡±. The university should also establish a ¡°checklist¡± for use ¡°ahead of conversations that have 바카라사이트 potential to become demanding or challenging¡±.

The report also recommends improved communication between central and local emergency management, clearer notification protocols, simplified planning and better training and information for staff. ¡°We did a lot of things right,¡± 바카라사이트 report states, ¡°but 바카라사이트re are several areas we can improve on.¡±
