This article is divided into three sections. The first section outlines the legal duties that colleges and universities have in connection with violent incidents on campus and discusses how related standards of care for TAM processes are likely to be developed in the litigation context. The second section provides a primer on the TAM process, with an emphasis on the identification of resources that TAM teams can rely upon in seeking to comply with current best practices. The third section identifies common challenges faced by TAM teams and makes recommendations about how risk managers can promote campus safety and minimize risk by helping TAM teams to overcome those challenges.
