Description
Too often, the words “student conduct” are associated with the negative, rather than educational and developmental. While certain roadblocks may exist to “charging” a student, nothing prohibits educational conversations which challenge the use of certain behaviors and language. These conversations help educate students on topics of privilege, inclusion and equity.
Additionally, the establishment of pro-social bystander initiatives help educate and instill in the students the ability to confront those who may expressing certain biases. While most bystander programs focus on issues of sexual misconduct, simple tweaks to the program can help utilize the same skillset in addressing instances of bias.
