What support does the college provide if students are causing problems in class?

You are responsible for maintaining class control. Sometimes, however, you may have a difficult student or clique of students, who make class sessions difficult to control. The source of this situation varies from having scholastically underprepared students, culturally diverse students, socially immature students, poorly advised students, or something else entirely, such as psychological dysfunction. If you are unable to resolve the problem, speak immediately to your coordinator about the situation. We work as a unit here at Highline to protect both you and your students from harm to the learning environment.

What do I do if a student gets violent or angry?

If a student threatens you or other students in your class, you need to notify the Campus Security office in Building 6, extension 3218 (emergency extension 3911), or, after hours, (206) 878-3712. Our Campus Security acts quickly and effectively to protect the college’s students and employees. You are not expected to endure threats, abuse, or harassment from students, faculty, staff, administrators, or others who may not be associated with the college. See Student Rights and Responsibilities.
