Judicial Process
If you are having a problem with your roommate(s) or any other resident here at La Aldea, the staff of this building and of Residence Life are here to support you. If you would like to report any kind of difficulty with another person in the building, there are two ways to do that:
- 1. Visit the La Aldea front office and speak to the Office Manager about scheduling a mediation between yourself and the other resident(s) involved.
- During this informal meeting, you and the other people involved would discuss with one of the Community Resident Assistants (CRAs) the problems that you are having. The CRA would help you and the other people involved to come to a compromise about any situation which is making your stay in La Aldea difficult.
- Once a compromise is reached with which all parties are comfortable, all students involved will be held accountable to those expectations. If any of the people involved were to break these new standards, they could be subject to sanctions imposed by the La Aldea Coordinator.
- The mediation is perfect for situations that do not involve a direct violation of the Community Standards or License Agreement, but are making your living situation difficult.
- 2. The second option is a formal complaint process through Residence Life online judicial conduct system.
- At the bottom of this page, you will see a link which will allow you to begin that process. When you go through this formal process, there are certain events that you should expect to happen.
- The formal complaint process (called a documentation) is not anonymous; you must sign in with your student ID number and pin given to you by the University.
- You must also be able to identify the other people involved in the situation and give a detailed account of what happened.
- Once you have finished your documentation, a copy is automatically sent to La Aldea’s Coordinator. Once he or she has read your account, he or she may schedule a meeting with you to discuss the situation further to be sure that all the details of your account are clear.
- He or she will then schedule a meeting with the other person(s) involved in the situation. After this meeting, he or she will decide whether or not the student(s) is responsible for a violation. He or she may require that the person(s) who are responsible take action to remedy the situation.
- This formal process should be completed when there is a clear violation of the Community Standards or the License Agreement.
