After HBCU bomb threats, NCCU gets grant to hire, train staff on racial trauma response
Here’s what the grant will fund at NCCU:
▪ A full-time care manager
▪ Director’s Learning, Empowering and Advocating for Diversity (LEAD) workshops to train faculty to recognize the impacts of racial trauma and PTSD and “to support students and aid in the overall safety climate at the university.” The workshops will be held over six sessions.
▪ A part-time case manager who will respond to campus crises and help with follow-up care to impacted students, and support campus police services.
▪ Overtime pay for five police officers and six Residential Life staffers responding to campus evacuation and after hours.
Other HBCUs to receive grants include Philander Smith College in Arkansas and Hampton University in Virginia, which will both use funds to hire more staff.
