Any crisis, small or large can have long-term negative consequences for a college or university, leaving a hard-to-clear stain on the institution's brand. They can arise from anywhere, and while most are completely unpredictable, their possibility is not. Natural disasters cannot be prevented but their impact can often be mitigated by having ready proactive responses. However, social and criminal actions can be anticipated.
It is better to develop administrative procedures to address a situation before it becomes a crisis. And if a crisis proves unavoidable, having a plan for managing the potential legal and public relations consequences is a vital factor in emerging with as little damage as possible to the reputation of the institution.
Whether an anticipatory program for crisis management needs to be developed, or a sudden concern requires immediate experienced intervention, our partners can assist in maximizing the chances that crises, from whatever origin, are managed for the most positive possible outcome.
