Faculty and Staff
Whether you want support in educating your students about the Honor Code or guidance to mediate classroom disruptions, Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution has resources to help.
Honor Code Policies and Procedures
The purpose of the Honor Code is to create an environment where students can succeed in a fair and honest way. Faculty and staff can:
- Educate students on the value of the Honor Code.
- Help students understand what violations may look like in your class.
- Instill a sense of academic integrity and responsibility among students.
Your Role in Student Behavior
Faculty and staff can make an impact on the student conduct process by joining the appeal board. Faculty and staff also have a responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. They can address this by:
- Guiding classroom discussion.
- Treating students with understanding, dignity and respect.
- Educating students on the consequences of a classroom disruption.
Conflict Resolution
Healthy conflict can result in growth, learning and understanding. Conflict resolution is not just for student-to-student relationships. It can also help faculty and staff:
- Improve communication with colleagues.
- Develop trusted relationships with students.
- Educate students on having respectful dialogue with people who have different opinions.
Support our students
Restorative Justice
Participate in Restorative Justice volunteer opportunities. Restorative Justice helps to address the relationship between victims, offenders and the community in a way that repairs the impact, holds the offender accountable and builds community.
Report an Incident
Report incidents such as suspected hazing to SCCR. Hazing refers to any activity expected of someone joining a group (or to maintain full status in a group) that humiliates, degrades, or risks emotional and/or physical harm, regardless of the person's willingness to participate.
Additional Support
If a student you interact with needs confidential support, counseling, legal assistance or guidance to navigate resources during a crisis, CU Boulder has multiple support departments to help.
Don't ignore it, report it.
There are options for students, faculty and staff, and families to report concerns. Don't ignore mental health concerns, racism, harassment, discriminatory actions, unwanted sexual behavior, abuse in a relationship, stalking, other interpersonal violence and abusive conduct.
