The TIXC will work in conjunction with the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)/Care Team, Human Resources, Safety & Security, and College leadership to make the determination based upon standard, objective threat assessment procedures. In all cases of emergency removal, the student/employee will be given notice of the action and the option to request a meeting with the TIXC prior to removal, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.
