STUDENTS, FACULTY & STAFF SERVICES

Mediation
Students are always encouraged to settle disagreements through civil discourse and honest disclosure.  The Office of Judicial Affairs provides mediation services and will provide training in alternative dispute resolution and conflict management.

Student Conduct  Advising
The Director of Student Rights & Standards serves as an advisor when students are in need of information on how to address specific conduct issues, concerns and/or the judicial process.  By providing an environment for non-threatening disclosure the Director of Student Rights & Standards serves as an information source and as a liaison between the student, organization or club and other campus entities.

Referral Services
The office has established relationships with various departments throughout campus as it helps to coordinate interventions for addressing student behavior.  On occasion, referrals will be made to off campus agencies that could better address the needs of a particular student or situation.

Restorative Justice

The Restorative Justice program involves the voluntary participation of the victim, the alleged offender and/or members of the community in discussions about the alleged violation.  The goals of the restorative justice program are as follows:

 

  1. Restore the relationship
  2. Fix the damage that has been done to the person and/or community
  3. Prevent further violations from occurring

 

The Restorative Justice approach allows participants to focus on understanding the harm that has occurred to relationships and to the community, and to decide how to best repair that harm and restore some sense of community.
