Welcome to the FAQ page! Here, you'll find answers to the most common questions about our services, policies, and procedures. If you have any further inquiries, please feel free to contact us.
Our staff members are located on both the Downtown and the Uptown campuses. We can meet via Zoom or in person. All questions or requests for services may be directed to restorativepractices@tulane.edu.
Any member of Tulane’s staff, faculty, and student body is eligible for TARP’s services. We offer customized services based on the unique needs of our community members. These may look different if you are a staff member, student, or member of the faculty.
Conflict resolution is an informal process that one or more parties use to find a peaceful solution to their dispute. A Conflict Resolution Specialist will meet with all parties involved and assist them in finding a path forward. This may involve one or more of our services and will be tailored to meet the needs of the person requesting assistance.
- The information shared with a Conflict Resolution Specialist does not fall under the same confidentiality levels of a healthcare provider or psychotherapist/counselor. Every effort is made to protect your privacy and the information discussed will only be shared in the context of assisting you. The Conflict Resolution Specialist may share information on a need-to-know basis only with pertinent campus partners and administrators.
- RREP’s services are considered private and are governed by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for students. Information is only shared, without signed consent, with school officials in “need to know” or health and safety circumstances. For more information on FERPA, please click here.
Absolutely not! All of our services are voluntary. However, your participation is vital to assisting us in creating a harmonious environment and sense of belonging for the entire Tulane community.
Restorative practices align with the Strategy for Tomorrow Action Plan, Strategic Priority 3: Building a campus climate where all can succeed. We understand that conflict is inevitable and even when there is a resolution, that resolution does not always result in healing. We want all members of the Tulane community to feel safe and that they have the support of the community to reach their goals. Bringing restorative practices to Tulane is a major culture shift with the goal of equipping our community with skills to take accountability and restore each other when harm is caused.
