Dalhousie University has replaced its Student Conduct Office with a new Student Support Team—which operates under Student Health & Wellness—as part of a new institutional approach to student supports. The new team uses a holistic case-management approach, combining holistic assessment with risk management in interventions. “We’re shifting away from compliance and enforcement to learning and growth after a misconduct incident,” said Dal Assistant Vice-Provost for Campus Living and Wellbeing Melissa MacKay. “What we do now is take the concern on, do the needs assessment, try to understand what’s happening, what needs to happen next, and make a plan with students to do just that.”
