As members of the at-large community, students are encouraged to resolve disagreements through informal, frank, and open discussion.

However, the University also recognizes that occasionally more formal processes are needed. All such activities, whether informal or formal, must be carried out by all participants within a framework of good faith collegiality and general respect for one another. Students are encouraged to contact the Dean of Students Office,聽Housing and Residence Life or other聽appropriate聽department(s), for assistance or guidance in resolving any concerns or conflicts.聽
