Campus Conflict Resolution: The Time Has Come for Mandatory Mediation
Bienstock, J. E. (2019). Campus conflict resolution: The time has come for mandatory mediation. Journal of Business & Behavioral Sciences, 31(1), 36–47.
Some universities have incorporated voluntary mediation into their campus conflict resolution process, yet many have not. The author suggests going a step further and explores the possible advantages and disadvantages of utilizing a mandatory mediation process to resolve disputes addressing the interests of both the student and university mitigating the risk of avoidable litigation. The author proposes research to study whether universities would consider making student enrollment in the university conditioned on agreeing to submitting all campus conflicts to mediation.

Utilizing Mediation to Resolve Campus Conflict: The Sky Is Not the Limit
Brown, A. L., Bienstock, J. E., & Swid, A. (2021). Utilizing mediation to resolve campus conflict: The sky is not the limit. Journal of Business & Behavioral Sciences, 33(1), 118–129.
Universities have turned to mediation as an alternative conflict resolution tool: a tool that affords both parties the ability to resolve their conflict in an environment where confidentiality may be preserved, and relationships salvaged. Mediation affords disputants the opportunity to voluntarily formulate win/win outcomes addressing their respective needs. However, mediation is not suited for all disputes arising on campus. For instance, in cases involving criminal assault, searching for a mutual agreement between the victim and the perpetrator is not feasible. Similarly, where a university expels a student for cheating or plagiarism, the university may have an institutional interest in proceeding to court so that it may vindicate its position and establish a precedent for future disputes.

Hidden in Plain View: The Impact of Mediation on the Mediator and Implications for Conflict Resolution Education
Malizia, D. A., & Jameson, J. K. (2018). Hidden in plain view: The impact of mediation on the mediator and implications for conflict resolution education. Conflict Resolution Quarterly, 35(3), 301–318.
Middle and high school students trained to be peer mediators experience improved communication skills, increased empathy, enhanced self‐esteem, and improved academic performance. Yet scholars have not examined whether these benefits extend to mediators in other contexts. This article presents empirical evidence and theoretical support for the inference that mediation training and practice have a positive impact on the emotional well‐being of the mediator. Given the documented increase of mental health challenges in today's society, this largely untapped potential of mediation to improve the well‐being of the mediator has significant implications for conflict resolution education.
