Risk Management & Insurance
Risk Management Guidelines
The Institute's administration recognizes its role of stewardship over the resources of the Institute, both human and property. The Institute's Risk Management goals are to have the highest possible concern for the safety of its students, faculty, staff and public in combination with maximum protection to prevent financial loss of institutional property. Each member of the Institute community is charged with a responsibility of reviewing his/her own activity with these risk management goals in mind, and whenever they appear to be in jeopardy, reporting it to management or the Institute's Risk Manager. Specific areas upon which to focus attention include environmental health, employee relations, educational policies and procedures, personal injuries and property loss (personal and real property).
