Highly Disruptive, but Minimal Risky Students

More students with diagnosed chronic health conditions are attending higher education institutions than ever before. These students often start their collegiate education on medications. But what happens if they choose to discontinue their medication? What happens if their health diagnoses result in disruptive behavior? Nationally, universities have their share of highly disruptive, but minimally risky students. These students cause a significant amount of disruption in their residence halls, academic classes, and departments across campus. While their risk level is assessed as low, their disruption level is significant. In caring for these students, while also caring for our campus community, CWRU has had to strengthen our inter-departmental collaborative relationships. In this presentation, we hope to share our best practices and knowledge to faculty and staff who might also be struggling to care for these students.
