Overview
OVERVIEW
This document and the accompanying materials constitute Davenport University’s Crisis Management Plan. The contents
of this document are the possession of Davenport University and will not be given to any outside individuals or
organizations. The reason for the confidentiality of this document is due to the names and contact numbers located in the
procedures.
This plan is to be implemented in the event of an emergency. It addresses the various aspects of crisis management,
including physical security of people and facilities, leadership responsibilities, and internal and external communications.
An emergency is defined as:




Disrupts normal operations or poses a serious threat to persons or property
Requires a quick or immediate response
Requires a response with procedures and resources beyond organizational capabilities
Results in a declaration of a general state of emergency by civil authorities
While the plan addresses specific types of crises and a broad range of responses, it must be clearly understood that a
crisis or major disaster presents circumstances that are not always predictable. As a result, it is impossible to predict
a specific course of conduct for each possible type of crisis. This plan should be considered as a general guide
governing the University’s response to a crisis. Real-time modifications to procedures will undoubtedly be required
as an event unfolds.
The plan identifies roles and responsibilities for specific administrators and departments within the University.
Nonetheless, each member of the community, whether assigned a specific role by this plan or not, has a responsibility
to assist colleagues and students during a crisis.
The three most important responsibilities of every community member during a crisis are:
1.
2.
3.
to contact those responsible for security services when confronted with a potentially dangerous situation, even if
the situation appears to be contained or to have abated;
to exercise independent judgment in order to ensure personal safety in the absence of specific instructions from
crisis management staff; and
to follow instructions, once provided, as best as possible.
The goal in a crisis is to ensure the health and safety of the University, protect campus buildings, and restore normal
operations.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT TEAM MEETING CENTER
During the course of a crisis event, the Crisis Management Team will meet in the Northwest office.
Should the Northwest office be inaccessible or undesirable during a crisis event, Garage or Zone 3 becomes the centralized
meeting place for the Crisis Management Team.
In the event of a need to evacuate a building, the Crisis Management Team will meet at the Storage Barn or Zone 4.
Once convened, the team may determine a more suitable location.
It is necessary to note that cell phone communications will take place during a crisis situation and a location to
meet may be determined at this time.

DU-ALERT
HIGHER EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY ACT
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008. Under Title IV,
the federal law requires all colleges and universities to have a notification and warning plan in place to alert the campus
community of an emergency. The U.S. Department of Education is still in the process of developing the regulations that will
coincide with this law and will amend the Code of Federal Regulations (34CFR) in the fall of 2009.
DU ALERT EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
1.
The Du Alert service is used to transmit brief urgent messages to a large segment of an institution’s population as
quickly as possible. It is strongly recommended that this system be used for unplanned emergency events which
have the opportunity to affect the entire campus. Use of this system for specific building closures which impact
the campus is also encouraged.
2.
The final regulations clarify the difference between the existing timely warning requirement and the new
requirement for an emergency notification policy. While a timely warning must be issued in response to specific
crimes, an emergency notification is required in the case of an immediate threat to the health or safety of students
or employees occurring on campus. Emergency notifications may include but are not limited to:







Bomb threats or other imminent violent threats
Fires, natural gas leaks and hazardous spills affecting the entire campus
Building evacuations and lock downs affecting the entire campus
Biological or pandemic emergency notifications
Natural disasters and weather advisories.
Power outages and utility failures resulting in an imminent threat
Campus closure due to declared civil emergency.
Sample scripts can be found in the appendix. Emergency information can be sent to the following devices:

Pandemic Planning Team
PANDEMIC PLANNING TEAM
In the Spring of 2009, the Cabinet approved the development of a multidisciplinary Pandemic Planning team to lead
a comprehensive effort to prepare the university for a potential outbreak of pandemic influenza. Building on the
university’s existing plans for crisis management and emergency response, this team will:
1.
Develop policies and short-term and long-term procedures to guide the university’s preparedness in
anticipation of an outbreak of pandemic flu.
2.
Identify critical resources, supplies and materials the university would need to have available to address
such an emergency and how best to obtain them.
3.
Identify key factors or conditions that will trigger critical decision-making on the part of the University,
and recommend who will need to make those critical decisions and what they should be.
4.
Ensure all decisions are in accordance with local, state, and federal recommendations and mandates.
The Pandemic Planning team is responsible for the development of Davenport’s Pandemic Influenza Preparation
and Response Plan. In addition, the Pandemic Planning team engages units (schools, departments, teams,
committees, etc.) in a coordinated planning process and oversees the education of the Davenport community about
the pandemic threat, the University’s response plans, and the need for all members of the community to be informed
and involved in the preparedness efforts.

Recovery Process
RECOVERY PROCESS
Once assured that conditions are safe, the Crisis Management Team will focus on returning the location to normal
operations.
Depending on the nature of the crisis, the Crisis Management Team will provide the location with factual information
regarding the crisis situation as well as details about recovery activities. This information may be provided in the form of
memoranda, town hall meetings, voice mail messages, or other methods of communications.
In the event that an emergency requires closure, the Davenport University Emergency Hotline (formerly the Weather
Hotline) will be activated. The hotline number is 1-800-525-8282. Up-to-date information on reopening will be made
available.
Staff and students should not return until the University is officially reopened. All administrators, facility, and security
personnel should report to work unless otherwise notified. On a case-by-case basis, other members will be asked to report to
work to assist in recovery efforts.
In the event of building damage, the recovery process will include a repair and clean-up component led by Facility
Operations. If regularly scheduled classes cannot be held due to physical damage, the Crisis Management team in
conjunction with Academic Services will immediately begin efforts to reschedule classes to other locations. Since these
efforts may result in time changes as well, information regarding schedule changes will be posted via the Davenport
University website and through email communications.

Defibrillators
FOR THOSE SITES THAT HAVE DEFIBRILLATORS:
AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is used in emergency medical situations where the heart of the victim has stopped
beating and the victim is no longer breathing. CPR is to be administered during a heart attack, along with using the AED.
Those trained and certified in CPR/AED procedures should be the ones who use the AED’s as the Good Samaritan Act will
cover any problems or injuries during this life saving procedure.
An AED is fairly simple to use. For the most part, the instructions are done in pictures and sound once the unit is opened up
and powered up for operation. Follow the pictures and prompts in order to properly use this device. For a male victim, a
razor may be used in order to shave hair from the areas that the AED pads will be administered, in order for proper contact
with the body. For females, removal of the bra may be needed in order to have proper body contact from the AED pad.
An AED should be used within the first few minutes of a heart attack, or as soon as it can be administered. The AED
delivers an electrical shock that aids in attempting to establish a regular heart rhythm to aid in proper circulation of the
blood & oxygen in the blood. No one should be touching the victim when the AED delivers the shock. Prompts from the
AED will be given as to what to do, if the victim is shockable, and when not to touch the body.
CPR and AED should be used on heart attack victims when they are unresponsive and have no pulse or not breathing. This
rescue procedure should be maintained until EMT’s or First Responders arrive to take over the medical care of the victim.
AED’s should also be properly maintained when being stored. Those responsible for Security Services will be responsible
for the maintenance and supply needs for the AED’s on site. Also, proper documentation should be maintained when using
this device or any other life saving technique. Documentation should be turned in to those responsible for Security
Services.
If at all possible, and as a general rule of thumb, only staff that has been trained in the proper use of an AED should attempt
to use it. There are, however, instances in which it would be imprudent to wait for a trained staff member. If this is the
case, the AED has been designed in such a way that they are user friendly and a Good Samaritan can adequately administer
treatment with the device by following the instructions printed on the apparatus.
IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SECURITY SERVICES TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES OF THE
AED EACH YEAR.

There are different ways that classroom disruptions can be handled. In order to understand this procedure, definitions will
be given of the following:
Disruption - an unwelcome or unexpected break in a process or activity
Disorderly - unruly, resisting authority and disturbing the peace
Dangerous - likely to cause harm or actions that could result in injury
The following are general guidelines of options that can be enforced at the time of a classroom disruption:
1.
When a student is causing a disruption in class, the professor will handle the issue by verbal commands.
2.
When a student is being disorderly, the professor will ask the student to leave class. A report is generated through
Student Services.
3.
When a student is likely to cause harm or actions could result in injury, ask the student to leave the classroom. If
there is a refusal, terminate class and ask all the students to leave the classroom. Contact 911 by classroom phone
or cell phone. Proceed to call Security Services if they exist at your location. A report is generated through

Communicable Disease
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
Communicable diseases are those that can be transmitted from person to person (or animal to human) via direct contact with
body fluids, ingesting contaminated food or water, inhalation of contaminated air, or the bite of an infected insect. Bacteria,
viruses, and parasites are some of the organisms that can cause communicable diseases.
A student who has a communicable disease may attend Davenport University whenever, through reasonable
accommodation, the risk of transmission of the disease is sufficiently remote. Placement decisions will be made by using
current public health department guidelines concerning the disease in question. Information on communicable diseases can
be found at the below website. The website table of contents is located on the next page..
http://www.accesskent.com/Health/HealthDepartment/CD_Epid/Disease_Fact_Sheets.htm
The determination of whether a student with a chronic communicable disease may attend Davenport University will be
made on an individual basis, according to procedures implemented by the University in consultation with appropriate
University personnel, the student’s primary physician, public health personnel, the University’s legal counsel, and the
student.
A student who has a communicable disease may be denied admission to, or may be dismissed from, a particular program or
course of study whenever such communicable disease has a direct effect on the student’s ability to perform a course of
study.
The University shall respect the right to privacy of any student who has a chronic communicable disease or is a carrier. The
student’s medical condition shall be disclosed only to the extent necessary to minimize the health risks to the student and
others. Persons deemed to have “a direct need to know” will be provided with the appropriate information; however, these
persons shall not further disclose the information.
CLEAN UP – If the communicable disease causes a need for decontamination, Facilities will arrange proper cleaning of
contaminated areas as soon as possible. Assessments of completion of decontamination will be provided to the appropriate
Leadership.

If damage to a location forces evacuation of the facility for a length of time, the V.P. of Risk Management will work with
the Group V.P. for Academic Services and other designated people to determine what courses could be handled at other
locations. Some classes could be handled at local establishments that will allow our use for a period of time.
BUILDINGS
If damage to a location forces evacuation of the facility for a length of time, the V.P. of Risk Management will work with
the Executive Vice President of Finances/CFO and other designated people to determine what nearby facilities could be
used for classes for a period of time. Local schools are often used for this purpose. Addresses of local schools are on the

Fire Drills
FIRE DRILLS
Purpose
The purpose of fire drills is to ensure the efficient and safe exit of facilities in the case of an emergency. Proper
drills ensure orderly exit under control and prevent panic. Order and control are the primary purposes of the
drill. Speed in emptying buildings, while desirable, is not in itself an object, and should be made secondary to
the maintenance of proper order.
Responsibility
Fire drills shall be designed and conducted according to the occupancies specified below. Responsibility for the
planning and conduct of drills shall be assigned by campus risk management to competent persons qualified to
exercise leadership. A written record of all drills conducted should be maintained including a critique of the
event. This record should be maintained by risk management.
General Guidelines
Drills shall include suitable procedures to make sure that all persons in the building, or all persons subject to
the drill, actually participate. If a fire drill is considered merely as a routine exercise from which some persons
may be excused, there is a grave danger that in an actual fire, the drill will fail in its intended purpose.
All drills will be preplanned but not preannounced. Fire drills shall be held with sufficient frequency to
familiarize all occupants with the drill procedure and to have the conduct of the drill a matter of established
routine. Sufficient frequency for Davenport University is to hold two fire drills each semester. One will
be held during the day and another in the evening. This will give the majority of faculty, staff, and
students the ability to be involved in a drill.
Drills should be carefully planned to simulate actual fire conditions. Not only should they be held at varying
times, but different means of exit should be used based upon an assumption that if some given stairway is
unavailable by reason of fire or smoke, all the occupants must be led out by some other route. Fire exit drills
should be designed to familiarize the occupants with all available means of exits, particularly emergency exits
that are not habitually used during the normal occupancy of the building.
Fire Exit Drills in Specific Campus Occupancies
The usefulness of a fire drill and the extent to which it can be carried depends upon the character of the
occupancy. Drills are most effective in occupancies such as classrooms, where the occupant load of the
building is somewhat consistent. In buildings where the occupant load is of a changing character, no regularly
organized fire drill is possible.
In such cases, the fire drills must be limited to the regular employees, who can be thoroughly schooled in the
proper procedure and can be trained to properly direct other occupants of the building in case of fire. In

Fire Drills
The following sections address some of the special fire drill details which should be observed for specific
occupancy classes.
A.
Educational Occupancies – Academic and Administrative Buildings.
All educational buildings on campus must hold two fire drills per semester, preferably during the first
four weeks of the semester. Faculty and staff shall work in cooperation with risk management in
scheduling drills before the semester begins.
Evacuation instructions are to be conspicuously posted in each classroom, and hallway to provide the
necessary evacuation information and ensure orderly egress from the building. Signs should also
specify that elevators must not be used to exit during a fire drill.
Classroom faculty and staff should be familiar with the easiest exit to be used in the fire drill and the
alternative exits available. Faculty and staff should close (not lock) doors and windows and take
responsibility for checking facilities for complete evacuation. All personal belongings within reach
should be taken from classrooms by students.
Handicapped students should inform faculty or staff at the start of the semester of any special
requirements with respect to locations and procedures that will best facilitate those students' egress
from the building in an emergency. In general, wheelchair users should go to the stairwell which is
furthest from the fire and wait for help. Fire departments should be notified that stairwells be checked
first. Other handicapped persons should be assisted by students, faculty or staff. Do not leave a
handicapped person alone.
B.
Residential Occupancies
Residential facilities demonstrate the greatest need for adequate and effective fire exit awareness due
to the potential loss of life. Fire drills in residence halls must be performed twice a semester at a
minimum. Because of the nature of the occupancy, it is usually the case that additional drills are
performed due to false alarms.
A major concern in residence hall fire drills is the resistance of residents to evacuate the building in the
event of a drill. Resident assistants and other staff must take responsibility for the complete and
orderly evacuation of the building. Education and awareness are key components to an effective fire
evacuation program. Directional signs in hallways and in each dorm room will help student to become
more fully aware of their options.

Fire Drills
Special consideration must be given to handicapped students with regard to fire safety in residence
halls. To be most effective, handicapped students should be required to evacuate the building during a
fire drill regardless of their location in the building. Preplanning is key for the handicapped person
because his/her own familiarity with the buildings, exists, and the safest methods of egress is vital.
First responders should preplan by having designated individuals assigned to evacuate handicapped
persons requiring assistance. The handicapped person should also seek out buddies to assist in the
evacuation and should explain all instructions beforehand. No-one should be left behind during a fire
drill or fire condition.
To facilitate evacuation, handicapped persons should be assigned to rooms on ground or egress level
whenever possible. Rooms should be identified on the outside of the building with a distinctly coded
sign to advise the fire department without distinguishing the student. If evacuation of a handicapped
person is not possible, he/she should return to the room, close the door or proceed to the nearest
stairwell if possible and wait for the fire department rescue. For this reason, each dorm should have a
list of all handicapped students and their room location on file with the fire department.
On each floor of the facility, the resident staff should proceed down the hall knocking loudly on each
door as he/she passes. Staff should not unlock each door as this is time consuming and may result in
danger to the staff person.
C.
Assembly Occupancies – Student Center
Because actual fire drills are not practical for places of non-continuous assembly where the students or
public body changes with each program, employees or attendants of such places should be schooled
in the duties they are to perform in case of fire in order to be of greatest service in effecting an orderly
exit.
An adequate number of competent attendants must be on duty when assembly occupancy is used.
Attendants should be instructed in the proper use of portable fire extinguishers and other manual fire
suppression equipment if provided.
Signs with directions for speedy and orderly egress should be posted.

Remind students which exit to take as noted in each classroom, regardless of where they are parked.

Tell them to put on coats and to pick up purses/keys. Leave all books, notebooks, etc. in the classroom.

Tell all students they MUST move to an area 300 feet from the building.

You are to take a roster or safety sign-in sheet and a pen/pencil with you.

Close all classroom windows.

Turn off lights.

Close all classroom doors.

Fire Response - Disabilities
EVACUATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
When emergency evacuation from a building becomes necessary, special attention must be paid to the safety of persons
with disabilities. Good planning is the best defense against unnecessary accidents and confusion. Some people with
disabilities may not need help while others may. This is why it is imperative that you ask the person if there is any way you
can be of assistance.
Any campus building may have an employee, student or visitor who is a person with disabilities. The three most
encountered are visual, aural, and mobility.



Visibility – Visually impaired persons may need guidance to the primary exit or to a secondary exit.
Aural – Aurally impaired individuals may not realize the alarm is sounding.
Mobility – Evacuation between floors can be difficult. Do not use elevators during emergencies.
If persons with disabilities are frequently present in your office, classroom, or residence hall, discuss evacuation plans with
them. Travel with them over possible exit routes, identify potential obstacles and ask their opinions.
Mobility impaired persons should be evacuated by untrained personnel only when the situation is life threatening. If it is
determined that there is no immediate danger, consider remaining where you are and immediately inform a member of the
crisis management team or those responsible for security services.
In life-threatening situation where immediate evacuation is necessary, always ask the person if you can help! Then,
personally assist the person with a disability down the stairs. Some crutch and cane users may be able to use the stairs,
others may not. Ask them how they want your help.
Wheelchair users should be carried in their chair only when at least two strong people are available who can control the
chair.
Communicate with people who are deaf or who have hearing impairments. When possible, arrange emergency signals in
advance. Keep verbal messages short. Visual props, such as cards or notes can be used to communicate. Immediately tell
them what is happening and keep them informed of the situation.

Hazardous Materials
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
If there is a hazardous materials spill anywhere on location the following steps should be immediately taken.
Contact security services, facility staff, or a member of the Crisis Management team. They will take over coordinating the
remainder of the emergency response. The scene should be immediately secured by not allowing people into the hazardous
area. This includes any rescue attempts, anyone unable to remove themselves from the affected area will have to wait until
the situation has been fully assessed and emergency personnel have arrived. If there is anyone in such a state immediately
contact 911 and notify them of the situation.
Isolate the area and take steps to ensure the safety of people as well as the environment with the priority being in that order.
Attempt to identify the hazardous materials using any placards visible from a safe distances, MSDS sheets found in the
security services office, or shipping documents that may be available.
Assess the Situation. If the spill warrants it, contact emergency services to take over the scene. If not contact the Director
of Security Services and/or the Director for Facilities and ask for instructions on how to proceed.
There may be the need to shut down the HVAC systems if there is a chemical spill on the highway and a chemical cloud is
approaching the campus. There will always be a facility or security personal available to shutdown HVAC units if
necessary.

Severe Weather
SEVERE WEATHER – Class Cancellation/Campus Closing Policy
Severe winter weather may come in many forms consisting of snow, ice, and wind. Generally, each one individually does not
result in the cancellation of classes but occasionally the severe combination of all three may cancel classes or possibly close a
campus.
Our students are being trained to work in our communities. Businesses rarely close due to weather related issues.
Davenport will rarely close or cancel classes.
DECISION PROCESS

The recommendation to cancel classes or the closing of a campus will be made by the highest ranking student services
and academic leadership member for a specific campus.

Information regarding the conditions of the weather can generally be determined by contacting facilities and security
who may be on site. Use of the internet is also encouraged for weather information (www.weather.com). There
is an expectation that the recommendation would be made with help from others.

In the chart below you can find criteria that can be used to make this recommendation. These criteria will be used to
explain to faculty, staff, and students why classes were canceled. This information will also be tracked by the V.P. of
Risk Management to help obtain an understanding under what conditions classes are generally canceled so decisions
can become easier in the future.

Tornado Drills
TORNADO DRILLS
Purpose
The purpose of tornado drills is to provide shelter for the campus community during a tornado warning. In these
cases, faculty, staff and students should not evacuate the building, since this may cause injury. During a tornado
warning you have only a short time to find shelter. Advance planning and a quick response are the keys to surviving
this type of inclement weather. The University values the safety of each individual and expects that people will take
responsibility for safeguarding their welfare.
Regulation
Effective March 30, 1998 House Bill 5237 amended the Michigan Fire Prevention Cote, Act 207, P.A. 1941, as
amended, Section 19 to require Tornado Drills in Schools. The new requirement applies to all schools, including
state supported schools, colleges, universities and school dormitories.
Sec. 19 (3) now requires a minimum of 2 tornado safety drills for each school year at the schools and facilities …...
These drills are for the purpose of preventing hazards and injuries in the event of severe weather.
Responsibility
Responsibility for the planning and conduct of drills shall be assigned by campus risk management to competent
persons qualified to exercise leadership. A written record of all drills conducted should be maintained including a
critique of the event. This record should be maintained by risk management.
General Guidelines
Drills shall include suitable procedures to make sure that all persons in the building, or all persons subject to the
drill, actually participate. If a tornado drill is considered merely as a routine exercise from which some persons may
be excused, there is a grave danger that in an actual tornado, the drill will fail in its intended purpose. All drills
should be pre-planned and preannounced.

Tornado Drills
Specified Occupancies

Educational Occupancies – Academic and Administrative Buildings.
All educational buildings on campus must hold two sets of tornado drills, one in the spring and one in the Fall,
preferably during the first four weeks of the semester. Faculty and staff shall work in cooperation with risk
management in scheduling drills before the semester begins. A “set” can be defined as a tornado drill during
the day and one in the evening in order to involve as many staff and students as possible.
Locations of tornado shelters are to be conspicuously posted in each classroom, and hallway to provide the
necessary information and ensure orderly movement through the building. Signs should also specify that
elevators must not be used to exit during a tornado drill.
Faculty and staff must be familiar with the tornado shelter locations and will assist students to these shelters.
Handicapped students should inform faculty or staff at the start of the semester of any special requirements with
respect to procedures that will best facilitate those students.

Residential Occupancies
Residential facilities demonstrate the greatest need for adequate and effective tornado shelter awareness due to
the potential loss of life. Tornado drills in residence halls must be performed twice each year, one in the spring
and Fall.
A major concern in residence hall tornado drills is the resistance of residents to go to the designated tornado
shelters. Resident assistants and other staff must take responsibility for the complete and orderly movement of
the students through the building. Education and awareness are key components to an effective tornado drill
program. Location of shelter in each apartment will help student to become more fully aware.
Special consideration must be given to handicapped students with regard to tornado drills in residence halls. To
be most effective, handicapped students should be required to move to tornado shelters during a tornado drill
regardless of their location in the building. Preplanning is key for the handicapped person because his/her own
familiarity with the tornado shelter locations, and the safest methods of egress is vital. The handicapped person
should also seek out buddies to assist.
On each floor of the facility, the resident staff should proceed down the hall knocking loudly on each door as
he/she passes. Staff should not unlock each door as this is time consuming and may result in danger to the staff
person.

Assembly Occupancies – Student Center
Because actual tornado drills are not practical for places of non-continuous assembly where the students or
public body changes with each program, employees or attendants of such places should be schooled in the
60
duties they are to perform in case of a tornado drill. An adequate number of competent attendants must be on
duty when assembly occupancy is used. Signs with directions for speedy
and orderly
egress should be posted.

Stalking
STALKING/THREATS/HARRASSMENT
SECURITY CELL # 269-350-0821
IF OCCURRING ON CAMPUS:
Contact those individuals who are responsible for security services or your student services representative. They will
evaluate the situation and contact police authorities if necessary.
If fear of bodily harm exists, call the Police Department at 911 and then locate security services personnel or notify office
staff.
If you receive a “Personal Protection Order” or PPO from the court, provide a copy of the order to the office staff.
IF OCCURRING OFF CAMPUS:
Contact the police at 911 followed by security services personnel or office staff.
Copies of Personal Protection Orders are kept on file. These documents should be updated as necessary and will be shared
with location personnel on a need to know basis.
As with any incident on location, an incident report should be filled out and kept on file for future reference.
The next page is an example of the information that can be given to those at a location in order to assist in identifying the
individual responsible. This information, upon approval of the victim, can be kept at a main entrance desk, welcome center,
or other location where staff may meet people as they enter the building.
Stalking is a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual
that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or
molested, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed,
or molested. 750.411h

Suicidal Remarks
SUICIDAL REMARKS
With the diverse student body with varying age groups and backgrounds the potential exists for suicidal tendencies among
students who are attending classes. It is critical that our staff respond to these individuals correctly and with care to ensure
that the safety of our student body is preserved and that the individual is properly cared for.
When confronted with a student who is making suicidal remarks you should contact a security services or a student services
representative as soon as possible. Security Services personnel, with help from Student Services, will coordinate any
further response.
It is important to isolate this student from the rest of the student population and keep them under watch throughout the entire
incident. At no time should a student who has made such statements be left alone. Every effort should be made to keep
them on location. If the individual insists on leaving inform them that you believe this to be unwise but allow them to leave
if they insist. If the student does leave, contact the Police Department to inform them of the situation. Attempt to give the
police a description of both the person and the vehicle they are driving as well as contact information if available.
Ask the student if there is a mental health professional that they have been seeing and ask if they have the contact number
for that person. If they do, have them contact that individual. Ask the student if there is a family member or friend that can
transport him/her off site.
A DU employee should only willingly allow a suicidal student to leave if there is a third party present to transport them.
Under no circumstances should the student be allowed to leave on their own, even if they state that they are feeling better,
without some resistance from the University employee.

FERPA Facts
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of students'
education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S.
Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the
student, or former student, who has reached the age of eighteen or is attending any school beyond the high school
level. Students and former students to whom the rights have transferred are called "eligible students."



Parents and eligible students have the right to inspect and review all of the student's education records
maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of materials in education records
unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents and eligible students to inspect the
records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.
Parents and eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records believed to be
inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then
has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the
parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record commenting on the contested
information in the record.
Generally, the school must have written permission from the parent or eligible student before releasing any
information from a student's record. However, the law allows schools to disclose records, without consent, to
the following parties:
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
school employees who have a need-to-know
other schools to which a student is transferring
certain government officials in order to carry out lawful functions
appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student
organizations doing certain studies for the school
accrediting organizations
individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas
persons who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies
state and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific state laws
Schools may also disclose, without consent, "directory" type information such as a student's name, address,
telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendances. However, schools must tell
parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents or eligible students a reasonable amount
of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them.
Schools must notify parents and eligible students of their rights under this law. The actual means of notification
(special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each
school.
For additional information or technical assistance, call (202) 260-3887 or TDD (202) 260-8956, or contact:
