Welcome to the Office for Conflict Resolution

What is OCR?

OCR provides informal conflict resolution services to non-bargaining unit University faculty, staff and student employees who are experiencing employment-related conflicts. OCR serves as an impartial resource to employees across all 5 University campuses, as well as University Extension and University affiliated community and research institutions (such as the Bell Museum, the Landscape Arboretum, and the Hormel Institute). Our services, with very limited exceptions, are entirely confidential. University policy prohibits retaliation against any employee for using the conflict resolution services of the OCR.
