Policy 115: Crisis Management Communications (Res. 17-06)

115.1 Policy

In the event of a crisis or emergency situation, it is most important to speak with a single, unified voice. In such situations, the President of the College, or the President’s designee, will handle all contacts with the media, and will coordinate the information flow between the College and the public. In such situations, all campus departments should refer calls from the media or the public to the President’s office, which may then determine whether another person at the College is a more appropriate spokesperson.

115.2 Procedure

The Communications/Marketing Director is the official designee appointed by the President. The President may also appoint another employee that he deems necessary to handle all contacts with the media.
