The student is……The most important person on the campus without them there would be no need for this institution

…Not a cold enrollment statistic, but a flesh & blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own.

…Not someone to be tolerated so that we can do our thing. They ARE our thing.

…Not dependent in us. Rather, we are dependent on them.

…Not an interruption of our work, but the purpose of it.

We are not doing them a favor by serving them. They are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so

EVOLUTION OF OUR REALTIONSHIP WITH STUDENTS

“College administrators and campus law enforcement officers became motivated by fear of

triggering legal liability (now compliance) and were encouraged to pursue strategies in their jobs that would minimize the risk of lawsuits (now the

list)but not necessarily reduce risk or injury. In short, the law encouraged the destruction of much

of the student/university relationship outside the classroom.”

-- Bickel and Lake

Bickel, Robert D., Peter F. Lake. The Rights and Responsibilities of the Modern University, Who Assumes the Risk of College Life? Carolina Academic Press, 1999.

+

As facilitators, administrators/staff partner with students, faculty, volunteers, and headquarters staff to make intelligent, fair, and reasonable choices within the boundaries established by state, federal, and local laws, university & organizational rules, and the educational mission of the institution as well as national organizations.

Reframed (RESET) Approach

Bickel, Robert D., Peter F. Lake. The Rights and Responsibilities of the Modern University, Who Assumes the Risk of College Life? Carolina Academic Press, 1999.

+

It is critical that students learn to choose for themselves and to bear the consequences of their decisions.

But these choices must be guided. Profoundly good and bad choices can be illustrated and challenged.

What this LOOKS like

Bickel, Robert D., Peter F. Lake. The Rights and Responsibilities of the Modern University, Who Assumes the Risk of College Life? Carolina Academic Press, 1999.

+

Students must acknowledge their critical role in protecting their own and other students’ safety.

The University also shares responsibility with the students for their safety.

Goal: To identify and manifest shared responsibility.

+

“The facilitator model is primarily designed to offer a comprehensive, adaptable legal and practical model for university/student safety … It is principally aimed at establishing a balance in college and university law (compliance) and responsibilities...” (Bickel & Lake, 1999, p. 163).

WHY IT WORKS

+

Accountability is a KEY theme in CAMPUS SAFETY

Accept responsibility to manage risks as both individuals and members of a campus community

Embrace the proactive processes that serve as the foundation for their partnership with the institution

Clearly communicate expectations to members and guests

Design proactive processes to empower members of their organization and peer groups to create a safe & healthy environment

Respond appropriately to decisions and/or incidents that are not aligned with expectations

From: ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES, Michael Klitzner, Ph.D.www.azag.gov/StopMeth/EnvironmentalStrategiesToPreventSubstanceAbuse.pdf

+Applying Klitzner to Campus Safety

Setting the context: have we made community standards clear?

Thinking about research/theory, what strategic changes could… Make desirable behavior easier? Reward desirable behavior? Make undesirable behavior harder? Raise cost of undesirable behavior? Make the physical environment safer?

Environment Matters

What about the social, academic, physical, policy, or legal environment promotes or facilitates unsafe behaviors?

CORE VALUES

+Student Voices:

“During our Risk Management Program we would like our members to realize the importance of making safe decisions while in social situations and have a full understanding of the risks that are involved with using alcohol and drugs. Our community risk includes maintaining our community and individual values in friendships and sexual relationships.”

“We are looking for a message that empowers members of our chapter to speak up and confront brothers that are making stupid

decisions that hurt them and other people….”

“I hate doing this stuff (hazing) but am not sure how to stop it or get others to see it is wrong…”
