the law , they may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities , but College authority will never be used merely to duplicate the function of general laws . Only where the College ’ s interests as an educational community are distinct and clearly involved , should the special authority of the College be asserted . If a student violates College regulations in the course of an off campus activity , such as one relating to class assignment , the student will be subject to penalty no greater than would normally be imposed by law . College action should be independent of community pressure .
RISC – ( RESPONSIVE INTERVENTION FOR STUDENT CONCERNS ) The RISC Team serves as a cross functional behavioral intervention team focused on prevention and early intervention of campus situations involving students experiencing extreme distress or engaging in harmful , threatening , or disruptive behaviors . The team is made up of staff from Student Services , Counseling , Learning , and Security . Team members are trained to recognize and address student conflict management issues . The team may utilize various methods and strategies in dealing with student concerns . Students who meet with this team may be required to meet one-on-one with a team member , may be asked to meet with the entire team , or be referred to a mental health professional , either employed by NWTC , or someone from an outside agency . The end result is to offer the student a plan for success , always mindful of the student ’ s best interest . The RISC Team adds an element of safety to the College environment .
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Campus Security Policy This information is being provided to students because of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College ’ s commitment to safety and security on all three campuses and in response to the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 .
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College is committed to maintaining a campus environment that enhances and supports student learning and achievement . The NWTC District Board , Administration , and staff recognize the importance of a safe and drug free campus . The use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs interferes with a person ’ s ability to learn and develop in the college environment . The Wisconsin Legislature and the U . S . Congress passed laws requiring colleges and universities to provide all students and staff with detailed written information about these issues , including relevant state and federal laws and sanctions . The intent of the law is to ensure that students have complete information about the extent of any problem , the risks involved , the legal standards that have been adopted , and the offices and agencies in the community to which a student may turn for help .
Security and Access to Campus Facilities The College maintains a commitment to campus security and safety . Exterior lighting in the parking lots , pedestrian walkways , and the exterior of buildings is on from dusk to dawn to illuminate these areas .
The College provides exterior emergency / assistance phones in the primary public parking lots at the Green Bay , Marinette , and Sturgeon Bay campuses . On the Green Bay campus , phones are located in lots A , C , D , E , F , and G . Each phone with the push of a button , allows quick contact to 911 emergency response as well as the ability to make non-emergency calls to campus security for assistance . When the phone is used , the security camera in the specific area is activated and focuses on to the area where the call is being made providing an additional security enhancement .
The campus buildings are patrolled by College Security and Facilities staff . All exterior doors are locked from 10:00 p . m . to 6:00 a . m . during the week .
