Behavioral Intervention Team

The Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) serves as the centralized campus team for discussion and coordinated action regarding reports of disruptive, problematic or concerning behavior or misconduct from co-workers, students, community members, friends, colleagues, etc.

Upon receipt, the Team reviews the report, assesses the threat and determines the best referrals for support, intervention, warning/notification and response.

Core members of the team include representatives from Title IX/DHR, Student Affairs, University Police, Human Resources, Health and Wellness, and Student Conduct.

For immediate help dial 9-1-1
