Information will be sought on the identity of the subject and the nature of past relationships, if any. When the call is from someone other than the potential victim, interviews with the potential victim should be sought and performed by a team member. Faculty, staff, students, and others should be encouraged to make calls to the Team with the potential victim present so that contact can be made rapidly. C. Dispositions 1 .
Dispositions can be of at least two sorts.
When, in the judgment of the Team or Team member, the issue is one of practical joking or nuisance behavior, no action beyond giving advice may be needed. Determine the appropriate University staff to go out and confront the subject and notify him or her to stop the behavior. The subject is advised that he or she needs to seek a mental health evaluation through the Counseling Center, Faculty and Staff Assistance Program, or Student Mental Health Service and must do so within 24 hours. If the person does not make an appointment within that time frame, Administration is notified, and the issue becomes disciplinary and goes to the Track for violent behavior. There is no case.
