Given this boy’s level of disturbance, one additional possibility might be to have your daughter speak with a psychologist from the school counseling center, in addition to the RA and Dean. A psychologist could gather more detailed information from your daughter and help to determine the seriousness of the situation (e.g., a forlorn, anxious young man from a paranoid, psychotic young man). Although the psychologist would not be meeting with the young man directly, he/she can assess the situation much more accurately than you, your daughter, or any of us here. Good luck.
