Conflict Mediation Policy Living with others for the first time away can be difficult. We anticipate at times there will be disagreements. In fact, we look forward to these opportunities to teach important dialogue, conflict mediation, and civility skills. At times, residents may request or ask to participate in roommate mediation. Our roommate mediation process is an extension of our residential curriculum and is designed to identify core issues and to help residents discover creative and viable living solutions. If you are having issues with your roommate or suitemate, please contact your RA. If you still have concerns, please visit your community office. 26.
