A thing I miss about Smith (which may be true of most SLACs) was that there were staff—deans, even—whose job it was to help students navigate crises, and who communicated to faculty with clear options for how to proceed (without imposing). That reduced administrative burden for faculty and students.

I don’t have to even entertain a thought about whether this is a real crisis or not, I know the student is already connected to services they need, and the dean is giving me ideas on how to move forward that are humane for the student but not inhumane for me. I miss that a lot.
