Faculty Mediators
Faculty Peer Mediations are co-mediated by faculty members who have completed 40 hours of rigorous mediation skills training provided by the National Conflict Resolution Center and passed a series of performance-based simulations. New faculty mediators are paired with more experienced mediation coaches in a co-mediation format. Note: Not all faculty who complete the mediation training go on to mediate.
The mediator's role is to facilitate communication among the parties through a structured process and to assist them in reaching a mutually acceptable resolution. The mediator does not judge the validity of any party’s position, does not take sides, nor decide how a conflict should be resolved.
Faculty mediators are embedded in the institutional context, understand the faculty experience, and as a result, can appreciate the unique interests, nuances, and challenges involved in faculty conflicts.
