Assessment and Care Team (ACT)
As part of our commitment to be a "Community of Care," Butler
University has an interdepartmental staff group that approaches
students who seem to be having difficulties with college
adjustment. This group, the Assessment and Care Team, meets
bi-weekly throughout the academic year to discuss issues of concern
and coordinate support to students. Issues discussed include
disengagement from campus life, academic difficulties that may
include poor class attendance, sexual violence/harassment,
depression, disruptive behaviors, eating disorders, or other
behaviors or situations that might impede a student's retention and
success.
