Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution

Where a student has been found responsible for a violation, conflict resolution methods such as restorative justice, coaching, mediation, and values-based decision-making are conducted with relevant parties. The purpose of using these methods is to:

• Support students as they recognize and overcome mistakes and take responsibility and control of their behaviors.
• In order to develop options to achieve resolution, students are coached on focusing on the problem at hand, and not on what another person did or said.
• Communicate with the goal of understanding another's point of view, and to repair harm done to relationships between offenders and victims.
• Engage students in character building and coaching on ethical decision-making and integrity.
• Resolve conflict at the lowest level possible through relationship-building, respect of individual differences, education, and support.
• Promote a supportive and safe campus community.
• Explain a process to adjudicate policy violations when necessary and suitable.
