Description

A restorative justice approach to addressing sexual misconduct in colleges and universities. Written for college and university practitioners and administrators, The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Campus Sexual Harms combines explanation, justification, and contextualization for the application of restorative justice for sexual misconduct, including for alleged Title IX violations. This book outlines considerations, action steps, and best practices for campuses who are interested in exploring the successful implementation of RJ for sexual misconduct. The opening chapter explores the “why,” while the final chapter examines the “how” of RJ for sexual harms and Title IX for college and university campuses. The authors' backgrounds as practitioners within the higher education context grounds this work with personal reflections, experiences, and stories.  The 2020 passage of the Final Rule of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 redesigned the law, ceding extensive authority to individual educational institutions to customize their approach to Title IX compliance. While some argue that the Final Rule may leave students less safe, there are now emergent opportunities, as federal Title IX regulations have also made allowances for the augmentation of investigative/adjudicatory Title IX processes with additional “informal” resolution options. These options can be designed to more specifically and appropriately address the harms, meet the needs, and attend to resultant obligations for those involved in situations of campus sexual misconduct. This book provides a primer for colleges and universities who seek to move campus culture in a more restorative direction generally, and specifically for practitioners interested in exploring the possibility of amending existing sexual misconduct policies, including investigative/ adjudicatory Title IX policy and procedures, through a restorative justice informed adaptive lens. Readers will explore why it makes all the difference (both for students and administrators) to add adaptive resolution options, from both cognitive and moral development standpoints, and for purely practical reasons. 

Author Biography:

Mikayla (Waters-Crittenton) McCray contracts with local school systems, court systems, and organizations to train their staff in restorative justice facilitation. She is currently helping to launch a new Restorative Justice Diversion program for the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle county (VA) for both young people (through 22 years old) and adults. She previously served as the Assistant Director of Student Accountability and Restorative Justice and as a Residence Director for Eastern Mennonite University. Prior to joining the EMU team, Mikayla worked to advance the awareness and research around restorative practices in the context of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual violence at Impact Justice (CA). Mikayla trains national organizations across the US in restorative justice and is certified in The Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience program as well as a rape crisis counselor. She earned an M.A. in Restorative Justice from EMU and undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Sociology. She lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dr. Rachel Roth Sawatzky trains national organizations across the US in restorative justice and policy development. She has worked within higher education as a university Title IX Coordinator, Interim Associate Dean of Students, and Director of Student Programs. In addition to serving on many policy advisory groups she has collaborated to lead a team on an Office of Violence Against Women Grant to prevent and eliminate sexual violence and misconduct. Her work has involved providing many training sessions on a variety of topics for students, university personnel, community first responders, and service providers. Rachel’s research interests include institutional policies and protocols in response to misconduct. Bringing a range of additional professional experiences to this project, Rachel has also worked as a social worker in a residential facility for sex offenders, within the foster care and adoption systems, and has experience working with children, families, and students impacted by sexual violence.
