Restorative processes are voluntary and not a good fit for everyone. If you decide you do not want to opt in to participate in a restorative process, notify the facilitator you are working with or email RJ@ucsb.edu.
There are a number of factors that go into conduct case eligibility. First, the Office of Student Conduct will review your case for eligibility. If they determine it is eligible, you will receive an email from the Restorative Justice Program with information regarding participating in a RJ program. Another important factor is the person of concern is taking full responsibility for the harm they caused to the community.
There are many ways to get involved in RJP. You can attend a RJP training to implement RJ into your work and have the opportunity to become a facilitator for RJP. You can also partner with RJP to provide restorative programming to your community, department, campus organizations, ect. For more information about getting involved email RJ@ucsb.edu.
Community Building (CB) circles are a tool to create intentional dialogues with a group of people. CB circles can be used to make community agreements of how to engage with one another or to talk about individuals values and how they align with one another.
