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 />
