Risk Management

Emergency Planning

The potential risks of severe weather and resulting power losses, flooding and wind damage are factors of concern for all members of the campus community.  Guidelines that help assure the safety of students and faculty, and minimize the disruption of the academic programs are discussed with University staff when such conditions are forecast.  Long term planning and cooperative understandings have been explored with other colleges and universities.

Claim administration

Injury and damage claims involving the University are routed through this office which will develop information in preparation for the defense or pursuit of liability allegations.  Claim settlements are administered by the Virginia Treasury Department, Division of Risk Management in Richmond.  They can be contacted at
