Like any community or organization, members of the campus community are regularly faced with conflicts that can impact the quality of life and the effectiveness of the organization and its people.
Conflict is a natural part of everyday life.
In fact, some conflict is positive because it gives us an opportunity to introduce new ideas that improve our campus environment. When conflict is negative, it becomes unproductive and can ultimately affect not only the emotional health and productivity of our students, faculty and staff, but also those around us, and the people we serve. The University provides a wealth of valuable services for students and employees to help them address a vast spectrum of problems. Many of the departments, programs and groups that offer unique problem resolution services are described below. You may also obtain copies of Your Campus Guide to Problem Resolution by calling Claudia D'Albini, Ombuds Program Coordinator, at 626-5589.
