Campus Concerns Committees
To address potentially dangerous threats or behaviors from members of the campus community, Case Western Reserve has created Campus Concerns Committees for both urgent and non-urgent situations.
For urgent (non-emergency) concerns: The Threat Assessment and Behavioral Intervention Team (TABIT) evaluates potentially worrisome situations. If the committee concludes a threat to the campus exists, TABIT members will act in accordance with university policy.
Sponsored by the Office of the Provost, TABIT generally convenes at the request of a Campus Consultation Resource representative. When notified of a perceived threat or dangerous behavior, the representative will consult with TABIT members to determine if a TABIT meeting should be convened and/or if a Campus Concerns Committee should be notified. On occasion, TABIT may convene by a direct request of any member of the university community.
Once convened, TABIT conducts a coordinated investigation using existing campus resources as it assesses whether a threat exists; the degree of risk involved; and the action steps required to mitigate potential harm from occurring on our campus.
To activate TABIT, contact the Office of the Provost at 216.368.4389.
Any university community member who is concerned about a situation may activate the team for a meeting. To request an urgent assessment, contact one of the following:
- Office of the Provost—216.368.4389
- Human Resources—216.368.6964
- Office of Student Affairs—216.368.2020
