Conflict Resolution The first step of any resolution should be at the lowest unit level, between the parties involved or the parties and an appropriate third party (e.g., other faculty, department chair, director of graduate studies, administrator). Students may wish to consult the Student Conflict Resolution Center or similar support services for advice and possible mediation. If no informal resolution is reached at the lowest unit level, a student may seek informal resolution at the collegiate level with the other party and higher level administrators. If the issue is not resolved informally, the student may seek formal resolution. The complete University Senate policy can be found on the Web at: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Education/Student/STUDENTCOMPLAINTS.html Student Misconduct Note: Confidentiality must be maintained in all student misconduct matters. These procedures were developed in consultation with The Office for Student Conduct and Academic Integrity and the Office of the General Counsel. Every undergraduate student attending the School of Nursing is expected to adhere to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Student Conduct Code, as well as the School of Nursing Behavioral Standards when s/he accepts an offer of admission to the College. Any violation of the above is considered an act of misconduct and warrants disciplinary action appropriate to the violation. A student has the right to contest any allegation of misconduct or disciplinary action. Whenever possible, allegations of misconduct should be settled at the lowest possible level—between the individuals involved. Allegations of misconduct should be resolved as quickly as possible. Students have the right to a review by impartial members of the School of Nursing (e.g., faculty not involved in the disagreement). To ensure due process, the procedures outlined below will be followed whenever a written allegation of misconduct is filed with the School of Nursing: 24
1. The complainant completes a written report of the violation. The report shall include the name(s) of the accused and complainant, a description of the alleged infraction, the specific portion of the U of M Student Code of Conduct or School of Nursing Behavioral Standards that are alleged to have been violated, names of potential witnesses, and general information about students’ rights supplied by the School. 2. The complainant files the report with the School of Nursing Associate Dean for Academic Programs or designee who will act as the Behavioral Standards Officer. The Associate Dean will generally refer the reports to the program director, who will meet with the complainant as needed to review the information on the report. In the event that the program director is the complainant, the Associate Dean for Academic Programs will serve as the behavioral standards officer. 3. The program director will meet with the accused student to review the allegations. The accused may admit or the allegations and explain her/his perspective on the alleged misconduct. A copy of the complaint is given to the accused and to the student’s faculty advisor. The original report is filed with the program director. 4. After meeting with the accused, the program director(s) will do one of the following: dismiss the allegations; resolve the allegations informally with a proposed finding and sanction(s); or refer the matter for a formal hearing (see the hearing procedures below). While informal resolution is encouraged, the program director retains the right to require a formal hearing in certain cases depending on the nature and severity of the allegations. 5. Student rights include the following: a. To have a copy of the complaint. b. To have an advocate of the accused’s choice (a faculty member, student, representative from the University of Minnesota Student Conflict Resolution Center [http://www.sos.umn.edu/about.html], attorney, etc.) who may act as an advisor and confidante in this matter. c. To hear and examine all evidence and/or testimony used against the accused. d. To question all adverse testimony. e. To personally present the case from the perspective of the accused with or without an advisor (see section b). f. To be notified in writing of any recommendations made for disposition of the complaint. g. To have the right to appeal the recommendations for disposition of the complaint given sufficient cause. 6. Procedures for Resolution: a. If the program director dismisses the allegations, the matter is closed and no information is placed in the accused student’s School of Nursing file. The information on this file will be maintained at the OSCAI? b. If the student admits to the allegation and accepts the proposed disciplinary action(s), s/he waives the right to a hearing. The program director reviews the report and forwards it to the Office of Student and Career Advancement Services (OSCAS). OSCAS places the information 25
