How high-profile sexual harassment cases could impact everyday workplaces Recent high-profile sexual harassment cases could shake up a lot more than just the entertainment industry.

The Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution at the Cornell University ILR School is engaging with Cornell University-community stakeholders to create the process to nominate the Presidential Task Force on Campus Climate. Members across our Cornell community are being asked for their input at seven town-hall style meetings. The first meeting is today November 1st from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM in the WSH Memorial Room. This meeting is open to all members of the community. The charge of the task force involves Campus Experience, Regulation of Speech and Harassment, and Campus Response, thus campus transparency is needed in order to ensure the best possible job is done. The subsequent meetings will be held:

Monday, November 6, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. (Statler Ballroom): All-Community Meeting regarding nominations for the President’s Task Force, with emphasis on staff nominations
Monday, November 6, 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. (RPCC Auditorium and 1st floor rooms): All-Community Meeting regarding nominations for the President’s Task Force, with emphasis on undergraduate student nominations
Wednesday, November 8, 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. (Room 423 in King-Shaw Hall): All-Community Meeting regarding nominations for the President’s Task Force, with emphasis on graduate and professional student nominations

Cornell Conflict Resolution Club In early 2017 the Cornell ILR School is launching the Conflict Resolution Club. The club will be open to all students throughout the university.

A new initiative between Cornell's Office of the Judicial Administrator and the Martin and Laurie Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution will allow students to take a joint ILR and Cornell Law School course, training the students to mediate disputes within the university this upcoming fall.

“Campus Mediation Practicum: Theory and Practice,” the first campus mediation program in the university’s history, will be co-taught by Rocco M. Scanza and Katrina Nobles.

A former national vice president for the American Arbitration Association, Scanza directs a mediation program for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He also serves as a professional mediator and arbitrator of employment, labor and commercial disputes.

Nobles, who holds an advanced degree in conflict resolution, is the university’s most experienced mediator of interpersonal conflicts. Prior to joining Cornell, she directed one of upstate New York’s most respected community mediation centers.
