Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation (CARE) Team
The CARE Team is an essential ingredient to enhancing student support and retention at UP.
The CARE Team is an interdisciplinary team with members from various University units that supports the campus community by responding to concerns regarding student, faculty, staff, or visitor behavior that may appear troubling, disruptive, or threatening to the campus environment. The CARE Team protocol is designed to help detect early indicators of the potential for disruptive conduct, self-harm, and the risk of violence to others. The CARE Team also supports students who are struggling with academic, personal, or emotional difficulties.
When notified of concerning behavior, the CARE Team will initiate a full and prompt review, assessing the level of concern and formulating a response plan.
UP’s CARE Team is comprised of the following individuals:
- Vice President for Student Engagement and Athletics – Chair
- Vice President for Mission Integration
- Dean Student Success
- Director Community Standards and Residential Life
- Director Human Resources
- Director Campus Safety
- Director Student Support Services
- Campus Advocate and Counselor
As-needed members, who are invited to team meetings when they have helpful information or insight on a case. Examples include but are not limited to: Title IX Coordinator, Ombudsman.
