Campus climate incidents can include conduct, speech or expression that negatively targets, intimidates, or threatens an individual or group due to race, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities, as well as past/present history of mental disorders.
Restorative Justice (derived from Indigenous cultures) is a process in which the victim can sit with the perpetrator and talk about harm. Restorative Justice does not replace a formal consequence if one is needed. Restorative Practices are now used throughout many workplace and academic settings rather than solely relying on punitive discipline.
Restorative Practices helps to not only repair the harm caused by an incident but helps to rebuild relationships and strengthens community climate. While formal consequences may be necessary, Restorative Practices helps to educate and enlighten community members rather than rely on punitive discipline measures.
This practice is completely voluntary for all parties.
