Abstract

College counselors are increasingly being called upon to assess "risk" and protect the college community from harm. This paper explores how this changing role for counselors might be impacting its reputation with students. It further discusses the complex and ever-changing dimensions of "risk," noting the difficulty in developing reliable risk assessment tools.
