Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT)

Illinois State University recognizes that incidents affecting students will occur and can have a significant effect on individual students, their families, and the university community. To respond to these situations, the Division of Student Affairs has developed the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), operating out of the Dean of Students Office. Our staff has been specially selected and trained to manage critical incident situations.

A critical incident is an adverse event that causes or has the potential to cause harm to an individual student, group of students, or the university and requires immediate response. Critical incidents to which the Critical Incident Response Team may respond include:

  • Death of a student (on or off campus)
  • Fire/explosion or significant damage to property
  • Communicable disease
  • Life threatening injury or illness
  • Missing person
  • Sexual assault
  • Riot/campus disruption

  • Natural disaster

Since the list above may not cover all situations that warrant Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) intervention, the CIRT staff on-call or the vice president of Student Affairs will make a determination of whether or not a situation warrants the attention of CIRT or support or assistance from another campus or community resource.

The CIRT Team serves to:

  • coordinate response to critical incidents affecting students
  • assist local emergency agencies with their response to critical incidents affecting students
  • assist other Illinois State University entities in responding to incidents that affect students as promulgated in the Illinois State University Incident Management Plan

  • share information about critical incidents affecting students with key areas of the Division of Student Affairs and Illinois State University who have a demonstrated need to know such information
