Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. In furtherance of this commitment, NTCC has established a Behavior Assessment and Intervention Team (BAIT) to provide a comprehensive and collaborative framework for reporting, assessment, and response to ensure the safety and well-being of the college community.
The BAIT is responsible for evaluating reports of threatening or concerning behavior, assessing risks, and coordinating appropriate interventions to ensure campus safety.
When to make a report
Is someone you know...
- experiencing a decline in work or academic performance?
- demonstrating disruptive or disturbing behavior?
- showing dramatic changes in appearance, behavior or weight?
- having problems at home, with classes or work?
- making disturbing comments in conversation, email, letters, social media postings or papers?
- sad, anxious or experiencing dramatic mood shifts?
- abusing alcohol or drugs?
- isolating themselves socially?
- acting paranoid or suspicious?
- frequently angry or easily frustrated?
- struggling with health problems?
These behaviors, especially when more than one are present, may be signs that a student, faculty member or staff member is in distress.
Your confidential report to NTCC’s Behavior Assessment and Intervention Team (BAIT) can make a difference.
