Description

Policies addressing suicidal students; two-year institutions of higher education.  Provides that two-year public institutions of higher education shall develop and implement policies to advise students, faculty, and staff of the proper procedures for identifying and addressing the needs of students exhibiting suicidal tendencies or behavior as resources become available for such purpose. The bill also deletes repetitive language permitting universities to establish policies regarding students who are a danger to themselves or others; this section and another on violence prevention already permit such policies.
