- Summary:
- Restorative justice is grounded in conflict resolution practices with the goal of psychologically healing the victim while informing the respondent of the harm they inflicted. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that inhibit or support the adoption of restorative justice practices at Institutions of Higher Education (IHE). The research looked at the views of Title IX and student conduct officers on restorative justice as an alternative to traditional conduct procedures in sexual misconduct cases at IHE's. The study also examined how the recent changes to Title IX regulations influenced a university's decision to adopt restorative practices. To answer the research questions, Title IX and conduct officers employed at American Association of Universities and Doctoral Research-Intensive Institutions were interviewed using a qualitative interview methodology. The research revealed that more schools used restorative practices than initially expected but primarily for non-sexual misconduct incidences. In addition, the 2020 change to the Title IX regulations was a major factor in Title IX and conduct officers' consideration in applying restorative practices to sexual assault cases. The results indicate of those IHE's interested in establishing restorative practices on their campuses for sexual misconduct cases, participants expressed various criteria and limitations to implementation.
