2. Dealing with Troubled Students

Sometimes students will encounter psychological problems that hamper their life on campus and you may wish to refer them to the Counseling Center at 314-7651 or the Mental Health Service in the Health Center, 314-8106. The Counseling Center provides a useful guide, Helping Students in Distress. For non-emergencies, the Faculty/Staff Warmline is available to all members of the campus community concerned about a student, co-worker, or any other situation in which they need some expert consultation. As a "warmline" rather than a hotline, calls are received by the receptionists at the Counseling Center and referred to the counselor on emergency duty. Within an hour or two, the counselor will return your call to discuss your concerns and suggest next steps. To reach the Faculty/Staff Warmline, call 314-7651. In addition, in cases of violent or potentially violent behavior, you should contact the Campus Police (405-3333) or Dr. Jonathan Kandell (314-7658), or other members of the BETA group.

3. Students with Disabilities

   The University has an office to assist faculty in addressing issues related to students with learning or physical disabilities.
