Merge conduct proceedings with conflict resolution methods to create a process that leads to better efficiency and stronger outcomes.
Incorporating a continuum of services into your conduct office doesn't just create a more inclusive and student-friendly approach to managing conflict on your campus - it also better prepares administrators to handle a number of issues and can help formalize office operations. A continuum of services can include restorative justice conferences, mediation meetings, educational sanctions, or the traditional campus retributive justice process. Join Academic Impressions in this archived webcast to learn how one institution has merged traditional conduct proceedings with conflict resolution methods to create an efficient process resulting in stronger outcomes.
This event is ideal for directors, assistant directors, associate directors and coordinators of student judicial affairs, student conduct offices, or university community standards offices, as well as anyone who is responsible for student conduct and discipline. Residence life, university legal counsel, and other student affairs administrators who are directly concerned with student conflicts may also benefit from this material.
After viewing this archived webcast, you will be able to incorporate new services into your conduct office in order to more effectively manage common conduct issues on your campus.
