My first two thoughts while reading this...
1. As a parent, I find it troubling that the phrase, "Do not call parents" shows up so many times in this document. While I understand that some news is better delivered *(or, is more appropriately delivered) by university or medical personnel, I'm still troubled by it. For instance, if my child attempted suicide, I would definitely want to know about it. (Aside: IMO, the suicide section of this CM policy seems terribly dismissive. I get that it's not good to make a big deal out of that type of event, but it seems to me that a call to a parent - or maybe even a campus counselor - is in order when suicide is attempted.)
2. Where was the proofreader for this document? The grammar nerd in me gets really irritated when a document of such importance isn't proofed before it's released to the public.

Reason: clarified "better delivered"
