Abstract

Increasing numbers of college students with mental health issues are enrolling in college. If these students threaten suicide they present serious legal issues for college officials. Lack of communication and coordination of a response to these students exacerbates the issue. Threat assessment teams can serve as mechanisms to coordinate the response to students who threaten suicide. A review of case law and recommendations to mitigate liability when students threaten suicide are provided. © NASPA 2012.
