Threat Assessment Team
The Threat Assessment Team meets regularly to review, assess, monitor and respond to reports of behavior that may be threatening or intimidating or that may indicate a pathway to violence that could impact the campus community or any of its members.
The Threat Assessment Team was created to provide oversight and to ensure that a consistent and objective process is in place for all threats of harm to self or others, or to the community in general, made by students, faculty, or staff as well as by visitors and non-community members.
The following individuals are members of the Threat Assessment Team:
- Greg Meyer, Dean for Community Wellness (Chair)
- Becki Achey, Equal Opportunity and Title IX Coordinator
- Harrison Dillard, Chief of the Â鶹¹û¶³ Police Department
- Dior Mariano, Director of Human Resources
- Leah Naso, Dean for Compliance, Training & Development
- Kayti Protos, LCSW, Director of the Master of Social Work Program/Assistant Professor
The team meets weekly and/or on an as needed basis to review, assess, monitor, and respond to incidents and reports. The team is trained on the use of objective screening and assessment tools and procedures. The results of these assessment guide the team in its decision-making regarding appropriate next steps to monitor and manage each situation. The team provides the results of their assessments and their recommendations to other departments and functions on campus, as appropriate and in accordance with applicable privacy laws and policies.
Mission Statement
The Threat Assessment Team reviews, assesses, monitors, and responds to reports of concerning behavior that may impact the safety of the campus community, its individual members, or non-community members when the source of the concern is part of our community. Through this process, the team identifies timely interventions and resources to mitigate potential threats and collaborate with outside agencies as necessary.
