The recent tragedy at Virginia Tech has brought a greater need to transition from disconnected Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) activities to cohesive, campus-wide initiatives that embrace a broad range of functions from different departments.
Campus departments have a role in the development and implementation of crisis management plans. However, unless there is a way to combine efforts across the enterprise, the whole picture, and, thus the whole threat, may not be recognized and acted upon in a timely way.
So whose job is it to make sure that cohesive practices and a well advertised crises management plan are in place? Learn from panelists representing the Association of College and University Auditors, International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and the University and Risk Managers Association how their respective members’ address risk and crisis management on their campuses.
The Panel Will:
- Present an overview of the types of crises plans needed
- Describe best practices to incorporate into a plan
- Discuss an auditor's role in auditing the crises plan and making sure the proper components are in place
- Discuss the problems of departmental barriers
- Describe how enterprise incident management technology is being used as a means to overcome barriers and maximize information intake and sharing to aide the incident investigation process
- Give an overview of how to identify students with threatening behavior
- Explain Incident Command Adaption and its application on a campus
