Conflict Resolution Services

Conflict is a natural and unavoidable part of life. How you address conflict is your decision. Student Conduct offers conflict resolution services for the University community in the form of mediation and conflict coaching.

Mediation

Mediation is the process in which we facilitate effective conflict resolution where parties voluntary attempt to reach mutually satisfying agreements. Mediation helps students to understand each other and feel understood. Our mediation services give students the opportunity to assume control of a conflict and responsibility for their actions.

Student Conduct will mediate cases that are deemed appropriate for mediation as long as the students involved are willing to participate. Student Conduct can mediate cases from all aspects of life, including roommate and neighbor disputes, relationship issues, noise complaints, and conflicts between student organizations.  Certain discipline issues, including cases of sexual misconduct, are not eligible for mediation.

Conflict Coaching

Conflict Coaching is a one-on-one process where a student is assisted in identifying, resolving, and managing their conflict. Managing conflicts means managing one’s emotions, words and actions. Conflict coaches will listen, help brainstorm solutions and provide skills training for students to be able to implement their solution.
