A resident Kim claims that her roommate has stolen her earrings. These earrings are very expensive and have been passed down from her Great, Great Grandmother. Kim claims that her roommate has stolen her earrings. Kim has no proof, other than her gross generalizations about her roommate’s poor upbringing. Kim’s mother fully buys into this and says things like, “You have no idea what a person like that will do when they see a pair of thousand-dollar diamond earrings!” Kim demands the RA to search the room and call the police. Kim is consistently, overwhelmingly overreacting. Kim is also belittling you, the RA, for their lack of ability to do anything that can actually help her. Name the situation and describe what you would do in this situation.

Tim, a resident from the 4^th floor above you, was walking home from a bar. When he left, he was having trouble walking straight, struggled moving his arms, and was not talking clearly. Apparently, some type of drug had been slipped into his drink. The last thing he recalled before blacking out was seeing someone he had met at the bar. When he woke up, he was not in his building, there was a person in the other bed, and some of their clothes were off. He got fully dressed and returned to his residence hall. You saw him quickly passing you in the 3^rd floor lounge and you approached him because he seemed disoriented. Name the situation and describe what you would do in this situation.

It is about 10:30 pm (before quiet hours). A group of friends have gathered in Monique’s room. Monique is not your resident but you know her and have a good rapport with her. They are talking loudly, listening to music, and you think it is okay to knock on the door without a back up RA. You approach the door and it takes a while for someone to answer the door and voices get lowered. You now believe something is going on but you have no back up. You approach the situation and Monique is coming at you saying, “you chill, we will keep it down, we are just enjoying our time together.” In the crack of the door, you see drinking games in the background, and something that looks like an alcohol bottle, but you are not sure. However, you do know that you saw empty beer bottles in the trash room. Name the situation and describe what you would do in this situation.

You are meeting with your residents about some conflict they have been experiencing. Ryan came to you complaining that Taylor, their roommate, is filthy, inconsiderate, and always has guests over. Taylor also came to you to say that their roommate always imposes rules and uses Taylor’s possessions (iPad, food, etc.) without asking. Both have started talking to the other residents on the floor, trying to turn the floor against each other. Both residents are tired of being roommates and want a room change NOW! Issues that both residents can’t agree on are: cleanliness of the room, guests, and sharing personal possessions. Name the situation and describe what you would do in this situation.

A resident of yours is withdrawing from activities they are normally a part of. You think they may be showing signs of depression and know that they have shared with you a past history of concern that you have shared in the past with your RD. You approached them and you learn that they are very depressed. It has been a horrible semester for them; they are failing 2 classes and their parents have threatened to stop paying tuition if their GPA drops. Their significant other has also been threatening to break up with them since they are depressed. Your resident has also been making comments to other residents that life is too difficult and no one would miss them if they were gone. They ask you to keep this conversation confidential. Name the situation and describe what you would do in this situation.

You saw a resident that you wrote up two days ago for underage drinking in the building. That night, the resident lashed out on you. You have previously attempted to connect with them but no luck. They are intentionally and visibility ignoring and avoiding you. They still seem a bit angry or at least sour about the situation. Name the situation and describe what you would do in this situation.
