It is the responsibility of every member of the campus community to take violence or threat of violence seriously and to immediately report workplace violence or threats of violence to the appropriate authorities.
Employees who encounter an armed or dangerous person should not attempt to challenge or disarm the individual. If you become aware of an immediate threat of violence, you should call 911. If you are not sure whether there is an immediate threat of violence, but are concerned that the behavior of any person may lead to violence, you should call 911.
Any potentially dangerous situations must be immediately reported to a supervisor or Human Resources. Reports can be made anonymously, and all reported incidents will be investigated. Reports or incidents warranting confidentiality will be handled appropriately, and information will be disclosed to others only on a need-to-know basis. All parties involved in a situation will be counseled, and the results of investigations will be discussed with them. Wilmington College will actively intervene at any indication of a possibly hostile or violent situation.
