Disciplinary methods have often centered on educating the offending student or on punitive responses when someone has caused harm to other individuals or to the community as a whole. Restorative Justice (RJ) is an alternative approach that focuses on restoring right relationships from a state of brokenness. The aim of RJ is that those who cause the brokenness and those affected by it should be able to articulate each other’s point of view while demonstrating empathy and compassion in the process. Through this process, the individuals involved learn respect, responsibility, and forgiveness. Student Life staff will facilitate the RJ process. Providence staff as well as the offender(s) and the victim(s) need to agree to using this process for it to be implemented. If there is not a willingness from both the victim(s) and the offender(s) to use the RJ process, the Disciplinary/Accountability Process will be implemented.
