Sharing a Concern

We understand that there are times when a student’s learning experience may hit a rough spot. This may be personal, emotional, psychological, academic, involve substance abuse, or other challenges. We want each student to thrive at UNE and succeed in their pursuits. Your concern may be just one part of a negative experience a student is having and can alert us to intervene.

For emergencies or crimes in progress, call 911 or UNE Security at (207) 283-0176.

Any member of the UNE community, including students, faculty, professional staff, administrators, or parents/family can share a concern. Anonymous concerns will be accepted. Concerns can be shared in person, by phone, or by filing a report.

After a Concern is Shared

Concerns are reviewed by UNE professional staff appropriate to the type of concern. Professional staff may then reach out to students to investigate and offer assistance as necessary. Our goal is to help the student(s) overcome the issues at hand while maintaining a healthy and safe environment on campus. Immediate measures may be taken when a student is found to be making a threat of harm to themselves or others.

If you have decided to include your name and information, you may be contacted for more information or to clarify what you included in the report. Because of the sensitive nature of many situations, you will likely not hear about the outcome of the report you submitted. This is standard and protects student privacy. Information is shared only on a need-to-know basis.

UNE’s CARE Team is committed to promoting campus safety through a proactive and collaborative approach to assisting students who may be at risk. The team assesses and intervenes in situations that may pose a threat to the safety and well-being of the campus community.  Comprised of professional staff across the University, the CARE Team coordinates information and develops support plans for students of concern. The CARE Team’s objective is to synchronize a network of resources focused on prevention and early intervention involving students experiencing distress or engaging in harmful or disruptive behaviors.

The primary purpose of sharing a concern is to help prevent any issues present from getting worse, especially when someone is perceived to be a danger to themselves or others. Students who reach out for assistance will typically not be subject to conduct action unless behaviors demonstrate the need. Behaviors that could arise in charges against someone include but are not limited to (a) unlawful distribution of alcohol or drugs; (b) sexual assault; (c) sexual harassment; (d) causing or threatening physical harm; (e) causing damage to property; and (f) hazing. Regardless of the situation, when you are concerned about someone’s well-being you should ask for help.
