Purdue's Violent Behavior Policy

Purdue’s Violent Behavior Policy gives BIT, the Behavior Intervention Team, the authority to intervene in situations, stating: “Purdue University is committed to providing a safe and secure campus environment for members of the University community. Purdue strives to create an educational environment for students and a work environment for employees that promote educational and career goals. Violent Behavior impedes such goals. Therefore, Violent Behavior is prohibited in or on any University Facility or while participating in any University activity. The Dean of Students, or designee, will serve as chair of the Behavior Intervention Team, which includes representatives from the Office of the Dean of Students, Environmental Health and Public Safety, University Police, Counseling and Psychological Services, University Residences, legal counsel, and others as appropriate. As a team focused on interventions, key decision-makers need to be involved in BIT decisions to allow for immediate implementation of plans.”
