ABSTRACT
Awareness of the possibility for supplemental procedural options for responding to campus sexual harm resulted in careful reflection. Using a collaborative process to build stakeholder buy-in, a contextually relevant restorative justice (RJ) informed campus sexual harms policy and procedure proposal, referred to as AR was developed. The implementation experience developed a deeper appreciation for federal Title IX law and the limits of institutionalized processes for responding to campus sexual harm and fostered a personal conviction of the possibilities a RJ framework could offer. National- and local-level contextual realities are among the factors affecting, in this case, the successful implementation of an RJ additive for responding to campus sexual harms. The development of new RJ-informed options becomes one piece of the broader campus conversation and strategy.
