Cubit - Silent Witness
CUBIT - College and University Behavioral Intervention Team
NFC is concerned about the safety, health, and well-being of its students, faculty,
staff, and visitors – individually and collectively (herein referred to as NFC members).
A College and University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT) has been formed that
will use a multidisciplinary approach to maintain the safety of the NFC campus. The
CUBIT is committed to balancing the rights of the individual with the collective safety
of the campus.
The CUBIT acts as a clearinghouse for campus concerns regarding behavior perceived
to be aberrant, threatening, or dangerous. The team will assess and manage potentially
dangerous situations that pertain to NFC members. The NFC CUBIT goal is to address
behaviors of concern, showing due diligence for the safety of NFC members while protecting
NFC member confidentiality to the appropriate extent. The NFC CUBIT will focus on
NFC members who may be exhibiting signs of impending problems. By monitoring persons
with problems, NFC hopes to avert serious safety threats and to direct NFC members
to resources that can help alleviate stress.
Silent Witness
The Silent Witness Program allows concerned NFC students, faculty, and staff an anonymous
method to report information about campus issues; violations of the law; matters of
improper, behavioral, or anti-social conduct; student or employee harassment; fraud;
and general safety or security concerns to the College and University Behavioral Intervention
Team (CUBIT).
CUBIT consists of a group of NFC employees who are concerned about the safety and
well-being of each member of the NFC family. The team is made up of members who have
specific skills and backgrounds in the areas of public safety, mental health, and
student affairs. Information submitted will be handled confidentially with the purpose
of assisting the student, faculty member, or staff member.
Although the NFC team accepts anonymous reports, it also encourages anyone to provide
his/her name and contact information so that the NFC CUBIT can follow-up to gather
additional information.
If you have information to share with the NFC Cubit Team during this time, please call NFC Director of Campus Safety and Security Larry Akers at 850-973-9477 or email akersl@nfc.edu.
