Abstract

Litigation, for a variety of reasons, has proven to be an imperfect platform to resolve conflicts arising on university campuses. Aside from the anxiety, wasted cost, and time associated with litigation, both students and university administrators run the risk of damaged relationships and very embarrassing publicity when they resort to litigating their conflicts. Litigation by its nature is adversarial and results in win/lose outcomes. Given these realities, universities have turned to mediation as an alternative conflict resolution tool: a tool which affords both parties the ability to resolve their conflict in an environment where confidentiality may be preserved and relationships salvaged. Mediation affords disputants the opportunity to voluntarily formulate win/win outcomes addressing their respective needs. However, mediation is not suited for all disputes arising on campus. For instance, in cases involving criminal assault, searching for a mutual agreement between the victim and the perpetrator is not feasible. Similarly, where a university expels a student for cheating or plagiarism, the university may have an institutional interest in proceeding to court so that it may vindicate its position and establish precedent for future disputes.
