  • Identifying Potentially Dangerous Students State Council of Higher Education for Virginia
    Identifying Potentially Dangerous Students State Council of Higher Education for Virginia A series of violent acts committed at American colleges and universities has prompted an examination of campus safety practices. In 2006 the Virginia State Crime Commission released “27 Best Practices for Campus Safety,” many of which were cited again by the 2007 Virginia Tech Review Panel. While the details may vary slightly, both panels call for a multi-layered approach that includes the identification of potentially dangerous students. Because of daily interaction with students, faculty and staff are the first line of defense in this effort. Active involvement in threat assessment by members of the campus community is the best method of preventing a serious act. In nearly every instance of violence on campus there is a pattern of actions, writings, and utterances by the perpetrator that is a clear indication of trouble ahead. In many campus tragedies there are significant indicators that are missed, observed and dismissed, or observed and unreported. Not every unexplainable activity or action is cause for alarm. At the same time, it is the collection and analysis of the reports of these activities that may be indicative of future problems. This brochure has been developed to provide a framework for faculty and staff from which to identify students with a significant potential for dangerous behavior. Federal Privacy Law and How it Affects Reporting The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects privacy interests of student’s “education records,” and prohibits a college or university from implementing a policy or practice of disclosing the education records of students, or personally identifiable information contained in education records, without the student’s written consent.

  • 1 James Madison University Draft Strategic Plan Structure
    May 24, 2021 James Madison University Draft Strategic Plan Structure Section 1: Strategic Priorities In order to align the management of fiscal, human, and material resources, the university is establishing strategic priorities. Such priorities provide a sharp plan focus over a particular period of time. When the university is determining where to invest resources or how to assess performance, we will begin (but not end) with these priorities. Of course, these priorities reflect our mission, vision, values and core qualities. We will develop a mapping system that links applicable core qualities and goals to each priority so that departments may draft and track linked objectives. Priority #1 – Being the Change at Work and in the World We will be an innovative engine powering student lifelong learning and providing the skill sets and solutions that education, business, government and other constituents have come to expect from JMU as we are truly being the change. Priority #2 – Embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) We will advance access and affordability for students from all backgrounds, and we will champion and foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for faculty, staff and students. Priority #3 – Attracting the Students of Tomorrow Our approach to enrollment management will be visionary and innovative, astutely anticipating national demographic trends, meeting community needs and fueling Virginia’s commitment to be the most well-educated state. Priority #4 – Recovering and Learning from COVID-19 in 2020-21 and Beyond As we join our local and regional communities, the Commonwealth and nation in recovery from the impact of COVID-19, we will diligently restore systems and processes to optimum operation, improve policies and practices to prepare for future disruptions, and capitalize on continued innovation and new adaptations so that they become new-normal best practices.

  • The James Madison University Quality Enhancement Plan
    The James Madison University Quality Enhancement Plan The Madison Collaborative: Ethical Reasoning in Action is a university‐wide program designed to teach, nurture, and model ethical reasoning skills. It embodies and complements the university mission as we promise to prepare students to be “educated and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful lives.” College students face increasingly complex decisions as they graduate and join the workforce and their communities. Often these decisions have ethical complexities and implications that require sophisticated reasoning abilities. Resulting from a two‐year QEP development process involving faculty, staff, students, and administrators, James Madison University identified an Eight Key Questions framework for use when facing choices and decisions of ethical significance. The Eight Key Questions draw upon multiple revered ethical traditions, touch the typical and most salient ethical considerations raised when addressing complicated issues, and, with modest adjustments, capture the core values of different cultural traditions. Coordinated and enhanced curricular and co‐curricular opportunities using the Eight Key Questions help prepare JMU graduates with a critical thinking skill‐set. The Madison Collaborative goals are to: 1. elevate the campus‐wide understanding and discourse on ethical reasoning as a teachable, evaluative process; 2. provide a unifying framework that aligns campus efforts to teach and assess ethical reasoning; and 3. encourage multiple avenues of intentional connection among personal, professional, and civic application of ethical reasoning skills in the classroom, co‐curricular activities, and student life. JMU’s Center for Assessment and Research Studies was involved from the QEP’s inception and contributed to articulating seven specific student learning outcomes (cognitive and attitudinal).

  • James Madison University Institutional Six-Year Plan Institutional Narrative – July 2017
    May 31, 2017 James Madison University Institutional Six-Year Plan Institutional Narrative – July 2017 Introduction: Deep Meaning and Purpose As we carry out our mission to be a community preparing students to be educated and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful lives, we’re seeing dramatic success, not just anecdotally as we hear our students’ remarkable stories, but in ways that can be measured. We know that students, faculty and staff share unusually close relationships at James Madison University. That’s why it was important to us when Gallup and Purdue University partnered to survey 29,000 college graduates and published the Gallup- Purdue Index in 2014, which found conclusively that participants who were more personally engaged as students possessed a greater sense of work engagement and well-being as alumni. In 2016, JMU contracted with Gallup to survey our alumni and compare their engagement with work and well-being against other colleges. The findings were striking: JMU alumni scored not only significantly higher than the national average, but well above alumni who graduated from the top 100 colleges and universities in the US News & World Report rankings. Perhaps most impressive was alums’ attachment to JMU. Thirty-eight percent of alumni reported the highest level of attachment to JMU compared to 24% of alumni for the U.S. News top 100 and 19% for the national sample. Of Note The Value of a JMU Degree From the Gallup/Purdue Report Evidence that a student’s investment in JMU reaps great awards is JMU alumni lead alumni nationally in also confirmed by what is said and written about us.
