Advocacy Services for Students

The Director of Student Conduct provides advocacy services to students who have the desire to resolve a conflict or problem that is directly related to their student life on campus. This conflict or problem may be a decision made by a faculty member, by an administrator, by a campus employer, or by another student that involves the student's status on campus or the right to a safe and secure environment while attending classes at the university.

Advocacy services are provided generally when the student has less power or status than the other party involved in the concern in question.

Advocacy services are provided to assist the student in actively participating in a process of resolution with the other party. As the advocate for the student, the director will work on the student's behalf along side the student and will only take action or seek information from other parties with the approval of the student client.

Advocacy services are provided to the student by the director on a confidential bases in order to uphold the student's right to privacy and the student's right to control his or her circumstances.

Faculty members or staff members may seek consultation with the student advocate to address their respective goal of providing a student with a fair resolution process. Any faculty or staff member is encouraged to refer a student to the student advocate when it is believed that this type of support would prove beneficial.
