Violence on campus is a serious issue. Hate crimes are usually instigated from disagreements among racial, gender, religion, sexual preference, or disability discrimination. Campuses have worked to develop a proactive position to present issues from occurring; however, it is impossible to stop the actions. ABC Community College has established an emergency plan to educate staff in the event of an incident. This training was designed to educate staff and students on the preventative measures that can be taken.
