Cubit - Silent Witness

CUBIT - College and University Behavioral Intervention Team

NFC is concerned about the safety, health, and well-being of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors – individually and collectively (herein referred to as NFC members). A College and University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT) has been formed that will use a multidisciplinary approach to maintain the safety of the NFC campus. The CUBIT is committed to balancing the rights of the individual with the collective safety of the campus.

The CUBIT acts as a clearinghouse for campus concerns regarding behavior perceived to be aberrant, threatening, or dangerous. The team will assess and manage potentially dangerous situations that pertain to NFC members. The NFC CUBIT goal is to address behaviors of concern, showing due diligence for the safety of NFC members while protecting NFC member confidentiality to the appropriate extent. The NFC CUBIT will focus on NFC members who may be exhibiting signs of impending problems. By monitoring persons with problems, NFC hopes to avert serious safety threats and to direct NFC members to resources that can help alleviate stress.


Silent Witness

The Silent Witness Program allows concerned NFC students, faculty, and staff an anonymous method to report information about campus issues; violations of the law; matters of improper, behavioral, or anti-social conduct; student or employee harassment; fraud; and general safety or security concerns to the College and University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT).

CUBIT consists of a group of NFC employees who are concerned about the safety and well-being of each member of the NFC family. The team is made up of members who have specific skills and backgrounds in the areas of public safety, mental health, and student affairs. Information submitted will be handled confidentially with the purpose of assisting the student, faculty member, or staff member.

Although the NFC team accepts anonymous reports, it also encourages anyone to provide his/her name and contact information so that the NFC CUBIT can follow-up to gather additional information.
