Upon notification of a Student Concern, the Chair of the Committee will place the situation on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled meeting or, in the case of an extreme emergency, a special team meeting will be called. Team members will be notified of the agenda item and bring as much information and material as possible that may have been obtained or generated during an initial response from their respective departments. The Team will discuss each new case and make recommendations to provide additional services or referrals as necessary to meet the needs of the student in crisis and will designate individual team members or departments who will initiate additional services or referrals. The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (or designee) will be responsible for communicating the situation to the appropriate members of the Chancellors’ Executive Council, when necessary.
Pending or previously discussed cases will be reviewed during regularly scheduled team meetings. These reviews will include confirmation that the services or referrals have been made and an assessment of their effectiveness. The Chair of the Team maintains records from SCRT meetings, which will be kept on file in the office of the Chair for three years.
While the primary mission of the Student Concern Response Team is to insure that students are afforded the opportunity to take advantage of University and outside services, students are under no obligation to cooperate. However, in cases where a student in a crisis situation impacts the University Community, in terms of safety, security, or the creation of an atmosphere of fear, this refusal can be considered in recommendations of the team to appropriate University authorities to limit the exposure of the remainder of the community to disruptive behavior.
