Conflict Resolution Process<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s’ Responsibility<br />
At the first indication that you and your roommate are experiencing interpersonal conflict, you<br />
and your roommate are responsible for contacting your Resident Assistant or the Residential Hall<br />
Coordinator for assistance in resolving the conflict. Conflict resolution is a shared responsibility<br />
and a negotiation process.<br />
Coordinators’ Responsibility<br />
At the first indication that differences between roommates have not been resolved and may<br />
degenerate into conflict, the Residential Hall Coordinator will implement the following steps for<br />
conflict crisis intervention:<br />
Step 1: Bring the roommates together in a setting that will permit the individuals to identify and<br />
freely discuss the reasons for the conflict. (At this point, there is no need for others to testify to<br />
the actions of the roommates. At this point, it is not a judicial process.)<br />
Step 2: Require the roommates to identify rational, reasonable and acceptable alternatives that<br />
will resolve the conflict. The solutions cannot violate the policies or guidelines of the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
(The roommates must own the process and solutions.)<br />
Step 3: The roommates must set a timetable for full compliance with the process for resolving<br />
the conflict.<br />
Step 4: In the context of the meeting, the Residential Hall Coordinator must make it clear to the<br />
roommates that failure to comply with the agreed upon process will lead to a referral to the Area<br />
Coordinator and/or the Director of Residential Life.<br />
Step 5: After the initial meeting, the Coordinator will write a follow-up letter to the roommates<br />
acknowledging the conflict resolution meeting, and restating the agreed upon process for<br />
resolving the conflict. If further meetings are required, a date, place, and time should be<br />
included in the follow-up letter.<br />
