Emergency Actions 

Student

The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (817.257.7820) or designee, is responsible for informing the appropriate departments and other students of a death or injury of a student.  The Office of Communications is responsible for all contact with the Media.

The name of the student and other information should NOT be released except to on-site emergency personnel.  The Medical Examiner or Designee will inform the family of a death.

The University offers counseling through the Counseling Center for any student who requests this assistance.

In the event of an on-campus event, notifications would occur after the situation has been handled as a medical emergency.

Campus Police may secure the area and no one, including the Media, should be permitted in the building without the consent of University Officials.

Family member of a student

Death or serious injury of a member of a student's family is an emotional situation that should be handled with sensitivity.  The Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, or designee, would handle this situation.
