行为干预小组

Sometimes, an informal approach can resolve a problematic behavioral incident. Other times disruptive conduct is of an intensity or chronicity that warrants additional intervention. Actions that are disruptive or dangerous can be expressed across time and situation; what appears to be an isolated event may be an opportunity for early intervention. The college community plays a vital role in protecting the safety and integrity of our learning community by use of appropriate referral services.

Here are examples of behaviors that interfere with a productive learning environment for self or others and/or threaten safety:

• 侵略等令人不安的行为, 控制不住地大喊大叫, 摔东西, 或者过度争论
• Threats or reports of harm to others or property
• Carrying, displaying, or talking excessively and inappropriately about weapons
• Suicidal threats, attempts, or acts of self-harm such as burning or cutting
• Intimidating behaviors such as bullying, harassment, or stalking
• Inappropriate touching, sexually charged language, or assault
• Changes in behavior that suggest psychological disturbance such as unusual withdrawal or abrupt mood change
• Any behaviors or language (written or verbal) that causes fear for safety

大学社区的所有成员, 包括学生, 员工, 校园访客, can report a concern regarding any observed distressing, 令人不安的, 或者破坏性行为.

BIT members meet regularly (including during the summer) to review reports. Due to the nature of some reports, the Senior Director of Student Success & Development, or their designee, may provide a response before the next scheduled BIT meeting.

在会议期间, the BIT (team) members will evaluate the information provided and decide about next steps. All action plans will be based on the facts provided and take into consideration the potential for future disruption. Information is shared on a “need to know” basis to assist in the assessment, 调查, and resolution of problematic behaviors. The 行为干预小组 will coordinate follow-up with the appropriate individuals and services. Every effort is made to preserve the privacy and dignity of those involved while working to protect campus safety.

作为报告问题的人, you should expect to hear from a BIT member regarding the concern. However, you may not be privy to all details in the action plan. You may contact the Senior Director of Student Success and 学生发展 with questions or to get information on supports and resources.

BIT interventions range widely from immediate de-escalation to connecting with supports such as counseling or making referrals to community resources. If a report indicates imminent and credible risk to individual or campus safety, the campus police or other designated personnel will take immediate action for threat mitigation.
