2024 Wilderness Risk Management Conference

More and more programs are dealing with misconduct in the field including drug use, sexual activity, and inappropriate language. If students are expelled, administrators often have to respond to angry parents. This presentation discusses what you should say in your enrollment materials and how to manage these kinds of incidents in the field. How much proof do you need? Can you search students’ bags? Can you or should you confiscate drugs and other contraband? Are you required to contact the police? Come hear answers to these questions and how to communicate with parents.
