Agenda Item 3

Discussion – ID Cards with
Lanyards for employees
Notes on Discussion
The Committee had a discussion on the
potential for requiring all faculty and staff
to wear ID cards while at work. This would
allow for better identification of those who
belong on campus. It is often difficult to
distinguish between faculty/staff and
students. The topic was on the agenda due
to the national focus on school safety.
It was noted that this policy may cause
issues for some employees. There could be
potential legal implications. The unions
would need to be involved in this decision
making process.
It was suggested that an informal survey of
employees could be used to get some
feedback on the concept before moving a
policy forward. It was decided that more
research needs to be done.
No actions were taken at this meeting.
Agenda Item 4

Discussion – Recent threat made on
Knight campus
Notes on Discussion
A member of the campus police staff
provided an overview of a recent threat
made to certain faculty/staff in an academic
department on the Knight campus. The
overview included how CCRI law
enforcement handled the incident with
involvement from local and State Police.
This discussion raised a broader issue of
how CCRI responds to incidents related to
faculty and staff. It was noted that response
has been inconsistent from incident to
DSM 3/2013

incident. The college needs to formalize its
process/procedures in this area to ensure
that notification is appropriate and afterincident follow-up is consistently applied.
It was noted that many pieces of the plan
are in place. However, they do not all come
together in a cohesive plan. It was noted
that this committee, as included in the
Governance structure, would be an
appropriate committee to develop such a
policy.
A motion was made and seconded that the
Emergency Response/Environmental Health
& Safety Committee will create a Crisis
Response Policy for the college. The motion
was approve unanimously.
