Conflict Resolution

Foundations of Civil Discussion

Conflict can be a normal part of living in community. The University expects its members first to employ honest, direct and civil dialogue as a means of resolving conflict. If, despite this effort, conflict persists, resources exist to help parties resolve disputes.

First- and second-year students experiencing roommate conflicts ordinarily request help from their residential college adviser (RCA). When additional assistance is required, students may seek the help of their director of student life.
