Mediation

Every attempt should be made to resolve conflicts without formal judicial action. This informal resolution can hopefully be accomplished by students critically examining their behaviors and making the adjustments necessary to become a positive influence in the University community. To assist in the informal resolution of conflicts, a formal Mediation Services program exists through the Dean of Students Office designed to allow students to resolve conflicts with the assistance of a neutral third party. Mediation may be an alternative available for students seeking to resolve conflicts yet does not replace the Judicial Review Process. The University reserves the right to refer a case to Mediation Services.
