Introducing the NaBITA 2017 Whitepaper:
Addressing Disruptive and Dangerous Behavior in the Classroom and Around Campus
Faculty and staff on college campuses are on the frontline of working with students in every aspect
of the college experience. While this work is essential and rewarding, it can also be demanding, draining and difficult. Our best intentions
for a student can be derailed when the student becomes
disruptive, and our best efforts are challenged when faced with dangerous behaviors.
The purpose
of this whitepaper is to provide a brief overview of foundational concepts related to the management
of disruptive and dangerous behavior on campus. It can be shared with faculty and staff as a
resource for the attitudes and techniques helpful during these challenging scenarios.
