On August 20, 2011, the University Risk Management and Insurance Association (“URMIA”) published “Campus Threat Assessment and Management Teams: What Risk Managers Need to Know Now” in its 2011 Annual Journal. The article was written by Jeff Nolan of DKM’s Higher Education Practice Group, and Marisa Randazzo, Ph.D. and Gene Deisinger, Ph.D. of Sigma Threat Management Associates (www.SigmaTMA.com) . The article emphasizes that each college and university should have an appropriately-staffed, well-trained and optimally-publicized team that can identify, assess and manage potentially threatening behavior by students, faculty and staff, and it provides guidance and resources on current best practices for such teams. A copy of the article is available at: Campus Threat Assessment and Management Teams. What Risk Managers Need to Know.
