Crisis Management Team

Ball State University has established a Crisis Management Team to guide response to campus crises that pose a threat to health, life, and property. The standing Crisis Management Team includes individuals from the areas of student affairs, facilities planning and management, public safety, marketing and communications, risk management, university computing services, and faculty. In the event of a crisis, this standing team would be expanded to include other members of the university community as appropriate based on the nature of the crisis. 

In accordance with the university’s Crisis Management Protocol, the team is responsible for gathering and reviewing details of the crisis, determining crisis management and response activities, specifying communication procedures with internal and external audiences, and briefing senior staff. In a crisis, the university president has the ultimate decision-making authority. The provost will act in the president’s absence. 

The Crisis Management Team is also responsible for providing education regarding crisis management to the campus community and for establishing positive working relationships with community law enforcement and emergency management personnel.

This Web site is one of the educational initiatives of the Crisis Management Team.
