Also, Couch, what do you think of this suggestion? I brought my chair in on this just in case she could help. She’s worried he’ll turn violent (so were Info and my mother, but they’re Info and my mother). So she suggested I set it up with campus security that a couple officers come by and I be seen by the student chatting with them before class. Um? (She says she did this once and the disruptive student never returned to class.) Am I wrong to think that’s too far to go?

No, I don’t feel threatened, but if he were to make threats he’d be out of there a lot faster.
Do you only have contact in lectures with him? Or is there an opportunity for him to make threats in private. Yes i think its a good idea and no i think it might be a step too far.
Thanks for this!
