Trust your instinct. If you see someone who is potentially in distress, report it. During this time, if you have information related to potential COVID-19 contagion, please report using the COVID-19 link.
The BIT’s goal is to successfully engage, support, and minimize concerns by intervening at the earliest possible point. Accomplishing this goal requires a coordinated institutional response that includes all members of the Alliant community.
A BIT report may be sent at any time by any member of the Alliant community through the online BIT Reporting Form or by leaving a message on our BIT phone line.

You should call 911 whenever you believe there is any threat of suicide, violence, or other unlawful behavior. Any threat of violence should be taken seriously. Trust your instinct and err on the side of caution.
It is important to take every disruptive behavior seriously, and to intervene by setting clear, reasonable, and behaviorally-anchored expectations for performance. It is also important to report any disruptive incident immediately; the individual may be engaging in similar behavior in other contexts, and a pattern of misbehavior could already be occurring about which you are unaware.
Faculty and staff have the right to prevent disruptive students from interfering with their right to teach and the right of other students to learn. To this end, faculty and staff may ask a student to refrain from certain behaviors in the classroom or in the office, require a student to meet with them or, when necessary, ask a disruptive student to leave the classroom or office area. Any behavior that requires a student to be removed from a class or office should be reported to the BIT team.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) does not prohibit the sharing of personal observations and knowledge about a student or individual among campus officials when there is a legitimate concern related to campus safety.
