Instructors should be prepared to deal with unpleasant situations. The world being what it is, every once in a while you may have to deal with aberrant student behavior. It’s better to be prepared than to be left wondering what to do. If for any reason a situation occurs in which either you or your students, feel threatened, unsafe, or just uneasy, it is better to call campus security. If your students mention that another student is acting strange or that they are being stalked either F2F, through text messaging, or online- you and the student should report this behavior to campus security. You should not attempt to deal with aberrant student behavior by yourself.
My advice is to program the phone number of campus security in your cell phone so that you have it readily available should you need it.
