Section: 6 of 34
The goal of a student conduct process is to provide accountability for students when their actions impact the campus community. The approach aligns with a restorative framework that supports learning and personal growth (Schrage & Giacomini, 2020).
This process is not solely punitive, it is designed to be (Waryold & Lancaster, 2020):
- Informative
- Educational
- Developmental
- Thought-provoking
Student conduct professionals engage students in meaningful conversations that include:
- Exploring the perspectives of both the complainant and the respondent to gain a fuller understanding of the incident
- Exploring their values and decision-making
- Reflecting on the purpose of community standards and the consequences of violations
- Identifying steps to make things right
