Addressing Student Concerns:

In an emergency, call Bradley University Police from campus extensions or your cell phone: 911 or (309) 677-2000.

An emergency is when a student experiences an immediate medical situation, poses imminent danger to self or others, demonstrates behavior that makes you feel unsafe, or is a victim of a crime. A Bradley University police officer will be dispatched to the scene.

See Something

Bradley University faculty and staff are in a unique position to demonstrate compassion for Bradley students in distress. Since you have frequent and prolonged contact with them, you may be the first person to SEE SOMETHING such as signs of loneliness, isolation, and even hopelessness in students facing academic and life challenges. These feelings can easily disrupt academic performance and may lead to difficulties coping and other serious consequences.

Say Something

If a student interaction is making you feel worried, alarmed, or threatened trust your instincts and SAY SOMETHING. Students exhibiting troubling behaviors in your presence may be having difficulties in various settings including the classroom, or with roommates, family, and/or social settings.

Do Something

Your expression of concern may be a critical factor in saving a student’s academic career or even their life. The purpose of this folder is to help you DO SOMETHING by referring students to the appropriate campus resources.

*A homeless student is defined as an individual enrolled in an institution who lacks or is at imminent risk of lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence or whose parent or legal guardian is unable or unwilling to provide shelter and care and includes a homeless individual as defined under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. For the purposes of this definition, the term “fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence” does not include residence in an institution of higher education’s on-campus housing.

**Student in care is defined by the Higher Education Housing and Opportunities Act as any person, regardless of age, who is or was under the care and legal custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, including youth for whom the Department has court-ordered legal responsibility, youth who aged out of care at age 18 or older, or youth formerly under care who have been adopted and were the subject of an adoption assistance agreement or who have been placed in private guardianship and were the subject of a subsidized guardianship agreement.
