Conflict Resolution Network is the main campus vehicle for providing alternatives to legal compliance. Peer Mediation is our growing program for students that offers alternative dispute resolution. Here are some other useful websites that offer resources and links to a growing body of research in the concepts of restorative justice and conflict mediation, resolution and negotiation particularly with respect to campus communities. Campus Mediation Resources is an extensive and comprehensive collection of information on the issue. The site offers links to bibliographies, online articles, examples of Faculty/Staff Conflict Resolution Policies, examples of Student Conflict Resolution Politicies, and numerous links to other resource and organizations. It is a thorough and first-stop gateway to this issue. Restorative Justice offers links and information to Government documents relating to Law, Prisons, and the Judicial system; to various Legal Issues; to important aspect of Cultural differences in understanding this concept; and useful links to various International sites that offer a different perspective. The scope of this website is larger than a campus community. Online Dispute Resolution is a site out of University of Massachusetts, and is part of the Center for Information Technology and Dispute Resolution. The Center is dedicated to understanding the nature and origins of online conflict and of appropriate responses to it. In addition, we view the online environment as a "place" where increasingly powerful tools will be available for working to find solutions to all conflicts, whether they originated online or offline, whether they are public or private, whether they involve transactions or relationships, and whether they are international or domestic. Here is a link to an useful article Conflict Management in Higher Education Report that offers an overview of some of the issues in higher education. |
