Risk management and campus protection
We identify and manage risks across the university to protect its mission, reputation, and finances. Through collaboration, we create policies and programs that reduce liability and promote a safe, thriving campus.
Risk management process
ERM uses a five-step process to identify risks, assess impact, develop response strategies, and continuously monitor risk across campus operations.
- Identify Risks: Identify risks the organization may face in its day-to-day operating environment.
- Analyze Scope: Analyze each identified risk to understand its scope and how it connects to various factors within the organization.
- Evaluate and Rank: Evaluate and prioritize risks to provide a clear, overall view of the organization’s risk exposure landscape.
- Treat Risks: Address risks by applying mitigation strategies, prevention plans, and contingency measures to reduce negative impact or enhance potential opportunities.
- Monitor and Track: Monitor and assess the effectiveness of risk treatment strategies, making adjustments as needed to improve outcomes.
