  2. What is Restorative Justice? Restorative Justice is a peaceful conflict resolution process that focuses on repairing harm and making things right. It brings together all parties affected by a conflict or misconduct and engages them in discussion to answer three basic questions: What happened? Who has been affected and how? How do we make things right?

  3. How it Works: Once the group has explored these questions, it creates a written agreement outlining participants’ responsibilities for addressing the harm and moving forward. Restorative Justice can help resolve conflict or address misconduct, if: • Parties who caused harm take responsibility for their actions and want to take steps to make things right. • Parties who have been harmed are willing to engage those who have hurt them.

  4. Restorative Justice: Restorative Justice supplements and expands options in MSU’s student disciplinary and community-building processes, empowering those affected to resolve, connect and move forward from conflict and misconduct to wholeness. • Provides learning and personal growth opportunities for all • Builds community, empathy and accountability • Offers a safe, facilitated environment for all parties to discuss the conflict’s impact on their lives and community • Gives voice to those harmed so their needs can be appropriately addressed • Holds accountable persons who cause harm and empowers them to make things right so they can reintegrate with their community • Affords a sense of closure rarely achieved in traditional justice processes

  5. Restorative Justice can help if you’re experiencing: • interpersonal conflicts • roommate disputes • staff disagreements • bias incidents • vandalism • assaults • theft • or other issues
