About The Position

The Assistant Director is responsible for supporting the overall process and operations of the Integrity Formation program and the Dean of Students. This position will largely be responsible for investigation and resolution of integrity formation cases. Integrity formation meetings support campus climate and student retention in two critical ways. For students accused of engaging in violations of policy, this role uses developmental and trauma-informed practices to support their continued experience at the University. By responding to these concerns, the Assistant Director supports and enhances an academically curious and rigorous environment by ensuring that our learning environments are conducive to student retention. The role will also provide consultative support to faculty and staff working with students of concern or students who have allegedly violated the Code of Student Conduct. These efforts further support student, faculty, and staff retention by ensuring that community members are aware of the resources available to help them in their experiences and responding to their concerns. This position will assist in connecting students to campus resources for support. Under the direction of the Dean of Students, this position will operationalize a conflict resolution program for students expressing concerns and/or who are seeking alternative resolution to integrity formation matters. This position may assist in providing education and outreach support to employees and students at Seattle University. This program will further support student, faculty, and staff retention by providing a non-adjudicative option for supporting the resolution of conflicts which, when left unaddressed, impacts individual decisions to remain at the University.
