The Administrative Policy: Conflict Resolution for Faculty, P&A, Civil Service, and Student Employees recently underwent major changes as part of its comprehensive review. The policy now has two separate procedures - one for formal conflict resolution and one for informal conflict resolution. Informal conflict resolution will remain in the Office for Conflict Resolution. The formal conflict resolution process will now be facilitated by the Office of Equity and Diversity. The new procedure for formal conflict resolution aligns more closely with other formal University grievance procedures.

We welcome your comments on the new policy and procedures.
