The faculty Ombuds program assists with conflict resolution at Wichita State. The Ombudspersons listen, guide and facilitate communication to help navigate disputes with fairness. They’re not advocates, but seek equitable solutions.

Visit the Faculty Senate’s website for a list of Ombudspersons and consider reaching out before a concern reaches a crisis point.

Student Conduct & Community Standards (SCCS) is sharing a helpful resource regarding student classroom behavior with faculty and staff on campus. The guide, which can be found on the Student Conduct website, discusses three easy steps to better manage classroom behavior.

• Establish high and positive behavioral expectations
• Reiterate/adjust and communicate those high and positive expectations
• Outline next steps and document the disruption

If you are ever unsure about whether to make a report to the SCCS office or not, you can email SCCS@wichita.edu or call 316-978-6681. If you believe a report needs to be made to SCCS, fill out the conduct incident response form (wichita.edu/reportit).
