<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Recently, we had an incident in which a faculty member experienced threatening behavior from a student in their class.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">This is distressing, to say the very least. The instructor did file a report with the Dean of Students and we are awaiting the results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">In response to this incident, I am sharing with all of you the official UA policy on how to address disruptive student behavior and what to do when that behavior crosses the line to a real or perceived threat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">If you ever find that you need to file a report as per the UA policy, please inform me of this by email. This is not so I can intercede in the situation, but more so I can follow up with the Dean of Students
Office, if needed, to ensure that the situation is resolved as quickly as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
