45 campus trespass notices issued

Concerns over personal safety and property resulted in 45 people being trespassed from the University of Otago campus since 2009.

So far this year, four people have been trespassed from campus, compared with 24 last year and 17 in 2009.

A university spokeswoman confirmed all those trespassed were people who were non-students.

All trespass notices were due to "issues of personal and property safety on campus".

The proctor and vice-chancellor were able to issue trespass notices to non-students for a period of up to two years, she said.
