These revisions align the Policy with the University’s current organizational structure and practices.
- Administrative Alignment: The Policy was last updated in June 2021, prior to the creation of the Office of Threat Assessment and Management. These revisions formally transfer the facilitation of the process from the Dean of Students to the Office of Threat Assessment and Management.
- Consistency in Language: To ensure a cohesive institutional response to campus safety, the language in the Policy has been updated to mirror the terminology found in University Policy 720, Threat Assessment and Management. The language has been refined to eliminate internal inconsistencies and ensure parity between medical and mental health conditions.
- Student-Centered Clarity: A major focus was making the Policy accessible to students in crisis and their families. The Policy now follows the chronological progression of the process, using intuitive language to help stakeholders better understand the implications of each stage.
