Conflict Resolution

In any organization with many jobs and many people, different points of view develop about a given situation. Recognizing this, Calvin College has developed a procedure for resolving these differences in an orderly and fair manner. The goal at Calvin College is to be a community that follows Christian principles while seeking to resolve any conflicts that may occur between members of the college community. These procedures are designed to protect the due process rights of complainants while at the same time resolving disputes at a personal level as close as possible to the point of origin. The hope is that the procedures described in Appendix B : Problem Review and Grievance Procedure are needed rarely, and when used, lead to restoration of community.
