termination of employment, and/or the filing of criminal charges, criminal arrest and/or prosecution of the employee involved. No existing university policy, practice or procedure should be interpreted to prohibit decisions designed to prevent a threat from being carried out, a violent act from occurring, or a life-threatening situation from developing. The University recognizes and respects the need for privacy and confidentiality of reporting parties and will, therefore, handle their reports with extreme discretion. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible. Anonymous reports, which are not recommended, will be investigated to the extent possible, but the process may be restricted by the lack of full disclosure. At no time does this policy prevent anyone from calling 911 should he/she feel there is an immediate threat to his/her own safety or the safety of others. Any employee who applies for or obtains a protective or restraining order which lists university locations as protected areas must provide to the University Police Department a copy of the petition and declarations used to seed the order and a copy of the temporary or permanent protective or restraining order which is granted. Student policies regarding threats, threatening behavior, and acts of violence are detailed in the Code of Conduct portion of the Student Handbook.
