Faculty Guidance
绿帽社 is committed to protecting the welfare of its community members and safeguarding the property and vital interests of the University. For this reason, the University has established comprehensive guidance for incident planning, response, and recovery at 绿帽社. As an instructor, you play an important role in the implementation and effectiveness of this guidance in your classroom.

- Provide your classes with general information relating to incident procedures at the start of each semester when reviewing your course syllabus (see document Classroom Emergency Preparedness and Response Information).
- Know how to report an incident from the classroom(s) you use.
- Take charge of the students in your classroom and follow appropriate procedures for all building alarms and incident alerts.
- Ensure that students with disabilities or special needs have the information or assistance they may require during an incident.
