Overview
It is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and students to immediately report any situation that could possibly result in harm to anyone at the university. Any member of the campus community may become aware of a troubling person or situation that is causing serious anxiety, stress, or fear. However, assessment of behavior that might constitute a threat should not be confused with management of a crisis. A crisis may be defined where a person may pose an active or immediate risk of violence to self or others. In these cases the university police should be contacted at 706-729-2911.
