Behavior Evaluation and
Response Team Procedure
A. Introduction
The Behavior Evaluation and Response Team
(BERT) is a team of campus officials who receive
and evaluate faculty, staff, and student concerns
regarding student behavior that may be disruptive,
self injurious, or potentially pose a risk of harm to
the health, safety, or property of any person or of
the College, or otherwise be dangerous. The goal
of BERT is to provide members of the campus
community with a response to problematic
behavior that maximizes the opportunity to
effectively resolve the issue and minimizes the
likelihood that problematic behavior will escalate.
B. Team Composition
The BERT team will consist of the following core
members: The Associate Vice President for Student
Development, the Executive Director of Counseling
and Advising, the Director of Services for
Students with Disabilities, the Executive Director,
Risk Management/ Public Safety, the Assistant
Director, Risk Management/Public Services, and
the Associate Vice President/Dean of Workforce
Development and Professional Preparation. In
addition, in cases involving student behavior
brought to the attention of the team by a faculty
member, the Department Chair of the relevant
discipline will be included. The Department
Chair may request that the relevant Program
Manager also participate. Further, staff from other
departments who may have relevant information
or who may have knowledge of the involved
student may be asked to participate on an ad hoc
basis.
