Behaviors that Warrant a Report
As a member of the Alabama A&M University community, you may identify concerning behaviors that can affect a person's mental, physical, academic-intellectual and/or workplace well-being, in addition to behaviors that pose a safety risk to the individual or the campus community.
You may feel more in control of situations that may arise, and you may put yourself in a better position to be helpful if you are able to recognize and report behaviors that are disruptive or behaviors that could potentially lead to violence, while also providing sources of help for the individual.
These lists are intended to provide basic information only.
