Behavioral Threat Assessment Process<br />
When a potential threat is reported to the Point of Contact (Vice-President for Student<br />
Affairs) he will determine the level of urgency and either refer the problem to the<br />
appropriate University professionals to resolve (non-urgent) or assemble the Behavioral<br />
Intervention Team (members include: Director of Public Safety; Campus Counselor; and<br />
one of the following based on the nature of the threat: Provost (faculty); functional Vice-<br />
President (staff); or Student Affairs representative (students). Other professionals may<br />
be included depending on the nature of the potential threat. The Behavioral<br />
Intervention Team will gather enough information to make an informed and timely<br />
decision to resolve the potential threat. Anyone who reports a potential threat will<br />
receive follow up information from the Point of Contact.<br />
Once the potential threat has been assessed the appropriate action will be taken guided<br />
by University policy (i.e. – emergency action plan, student discipline process,<br />
involuntary suspension policy, etc.).<br />
The Behavioral Threat Assessment Process is in place to proactively intervene before<br />
concerning behavior poses a real threat to the campus community. For it to be effective<br />
all campus community members should error on the side of caution and report concerns<br />
to the appropriate campus resources.<br />
