What is ACR (Adaptable Conflict Resolution)?
Adaptable Conflict Resolution refers to a range of conflict resolution approaches that allow individuals involved to have significant influence over the process and complete control of the outcome, adapting around the needs of those accessing the service. These approaches are on the left side of our spectrum of resolution options. Common forms of Adaptable Conflict Resolution at the University of Michigan include Social Justice Mediation, Facilitated Dialogue, and Restorative Justice Circles. Accessing these pathways is completely voluntary, and never results in a student record. Adaptable Conflict Resolution can be useful in a wide range of circumstances including conflicts between roommates, housemates, floormates, friends, members of a student organization, members of a study group or class project, etc., and many other situations. Learn more about Adaptable Conflict Resolution on our ACR page, or by contacting OSCR.
