Queen's University Belfast has said the PSNI has "ongoing engagement" with university security to "ensure the safety and welfare" of staff.
The university made the comments in response to a statement from solicitors in respect of Prof Colin Harvey.
KRW Law said Prof Harvey had faced "a sustained campaign of intimidation and harassment over several years".
QUB said a member of the university management had "ongoing contact" with Prof Harvey.
He is a professor of human rights law in the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast (QUB) and is a board member of the Ireland's Future organisation.
