Interpersonal Conflicts
UCSC is committed to providing individuals the right to a safe and neutral process for the resolution of interpersonal conflict. That process shall be fair, efficient, and free from reprisal. Recognizing that each individual has both a personal interest in, and a share of the responsibility for resolving his/her conflict, UCSC encourages and facilitates the use of an informal conflict resolution process. Such a process encourages early resolution of problems and/or concerns. It is important for Administrative Officials to be responsive to complaints of conflict situations.
