Paperback: 124 pages, 6 x 9. . . $18.95

     Here's concise, quick-to-read, but comprehensive answers to your questions regarding key factors in a difficult and growing campus-wide problem.

     Written by a highly-qualified practitioner, and illustrated largely by first-hand experiences, this book offers guidance and information that college administrators need if they are involved in: due process for disruptive students; dealing with disruptive students; disruption in residence halls; college mental health programs; student conduct codes; or staff training.

This book includes:

  • an explanation of the need for a well-defined code of student conduct;
  • an outline of disciplinary sanctions for dealing with disruptive behavior;
  • recommendations for documenting and reporting incidents of disruption;
  • a discussion of the common aversions that are displayed toward administering discipline;
  • a discussion of the differences between predicting dangerousness and predicting disruptiveness;
  • a description of both the therapeutic and consultative role of a college mental health program;
  • how to deal with highly self-disruptive students;
  • guidelines for dealing with various relatively unusual incidents of disruption;
  • dealing with disturbed students who are adverse to using psychiatric medications and dealing with students who have been suspended or expelled and wish to re-enroll.
