Kalamazoo College does not tolerate violence or threats of violence. All acts of violence by employees, students or visitors will be taken seriously and will be dealt with appropriately. All violent acts or threats of violence should be reported. A single incident is sufficient grounds for investigation, and may result in disciplinary action including termination, and/or arrest and prosecution. 

Workplace violence is defined as any physical assault, with or without weapons; behavior that a reasonable person would interpret as violent (e.g., throwing items, pounding on objects, or destroying property); and specific threats to inflict physical harm or damage property. The Director of Campus Safety is charged with investigating allegations and incidents of workplace violence. The Campus Safety Department also oversees prevention mechanisms and periodic training to make the campus community aware of these issues. If you are being subjected to or witness violence or threats of violence on campus, please contact Campus Safety (269.337.7321) immediately.
