Office of Dispute Resolution

The Office of Dispute Resolution (ODR) is an independent organization that helps resolve disagreements between parties, such as disputes involving students, employees, or other stakeholders. It provides alternative ways to settle conflicts outside of traditional courts, often through mediation or arbitration, which are quicker and more cost-effective. The ODR ensures that disputes are handled fairly, efficiently, and confidentially, allowing all involved to reach mutually acceptable solutions without lengthy legal processes. It aims to promote a peaceful, respectful resolution while preserving relationships and minimizing disruption.
