UGA faculty members and academic professionals who are interested in promoting academic integrity and practicing Restorative Justice can serve as Remediation Faculty Representatives during Restorative Justice Conferences. In these meetings, they will represent UGA’s body of faculty that was harmed through cheating (alongside a Remediation Peer Educator who will represent UGA’s student body as a harmed party).
Restorative Justice Conferences serve the purpose of bringing together students who have caused harm to the academic community by committing academic misconduct and two parties that have been harmed by their actions — other students and faculty. Remediation candidates will talk about their individual cases, reflect on the reasons and circumstances that led them to commit academic misconduct, and determine steps they can take to repair their damaged integrity and the harm they have caused.
