The Faculty Peer Mediation Program launched in 2018 to help faculty resolve interpersonal disagreements through a collegial, confidential, and informal process. Mediation is a form of conflict resolution in which a neutral, trained mediator facilitates a discussion between parties and helps them identify a mutually acceptable resolution.

The Center for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion offers mediation training to faculty interested in learning mediation skills and serving as ambassadors of respectful dialogue and healthy conflict resolution. The 2020 training will be held on Zoom, Aug. 20-21 and Aug. 24-26, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.

This skill-building course is provided by the National Conflict Resolution Center, an international leader in conflict resolution. The course will introduce faculty to effective mediation techniques through a combination of lectures, simulations, and participatory exercises. The curriculum meets the standards of the California Dispute Resolution Programs Act.

Faculty of all ranks and disciplines are welcome to apply, including non-senate members. People of diverse backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply. To be considered, faculty must be able to fully participate in the 5-day training and must be willing to serve as faculty peer mediators. Please note that the course format has been modified for an optimal online experience.
