The University of Massachusetts Systemwide ERM Program developed tools to assess risks with systemwide impacts, as well as risks with campus-specific impacts.

Risks are evaluated utilizing three factors:

  1. Likelihood: Could the Campus or University System experience this risk?
  2. Consequence: How much would the Campus or University System be impacted by this risk?
  3. Urgency: How soon does the Campus or University System need to prioritize this risk?
