2014 Portland State University Academic Program Review
Conflict Resolution Self-Study
Purpose of Program Review at PSU
The program review process at Portland State University (PSU) is designed to provide continuous
improvement of academic quality within academic units through self-study and external
review. For the purposes of this document, “program review” refers to a department or division’s
holistic appraisal over five years of its curricular offerings (certificates, majors, minors, and
graduate programs), and where applicable, its centers/institutes. Center and institute review
should follow Guidelines for Center/Institute Review at Portland State University. Program
review provides academic units the opportunity for reflection and discussion of their programs on
a regular cycle, and is explicitly designed to be collaborative in nature, and inclusive of student,
faculty, community, and administrative input, as well as external evaluation, as determined by the
dean. The overall goal of program review is to assist academic units in:






articulating their goals and objectives in relation to the University's themes, priorities,
and initiatives,
instituting a regular process of internal and external review of qualitative and quantitative
information about program activities,
demonstrating progress toward achievement of department goals,
using outcomes for program improvement and goal-setting,
providing departments with support during transition, and
providing deans with more thorough and reflective evidence of program progress.
The program review process is accomplished through a recurring schedule of goal setting, data
gathering and analysis, and reporting. Through the college’s planning process, the academic
department:



establishes its goals and objectives related to teaching, scholarship and service for its
respective programs;
provides analysis of data received and/or collected to demonstrate progress toward the
stated goals and objectives;
reports on its progress toward meeting its goals and objectives within the unit’s and the
University’s mission.
Brief History of Conflict Resolution at PSU
In 1991, a survey of PSU faculty members showed that there was substantial interest in
developing an academic program in peace studies. During the 1980s, PSU had resisted faculty
and community efforts to create such an academic program, while other members of the Oregon
University System did create such programs, most notably peace studies minors at the University
of Oregon and Oregon State University. In the summer of 1992, a committee, called Catalyst,
was formed that brought together interested faculty and community members. A proposal for a
Masters Degree in Conflict Resolution was created in the spring of 1993 within the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences. In the fall of 1996, the first masters degree cohort was welcomed by
the cofounding faculty members, Robert Gould PhD and Mary Zinkin PhD, though the masters
degree proposal was not finally approved until 1997. An arrangement was made so that the first
cohort could use their CR courses towards a Masters Degree in Speech, if the Masters Degree in
1
Conflict Resolution was not approved. When the degree was approved, the Graduate Program in
Conflict Resolution moved to the Philosophy Department because its director, Robert Gould, was
teaching in that department. In 2002, the Graduate Program in Conflict Resolution moved out of
the Philosophy Department to become an independent academic unit. In 2014, an Undergraduate
Major in Conflict Resolution was approved, creating an Undergraduate Program in Conflict
Resolution. External reviews were conducted at the start of the graduate program, and most
recently in 2009-2010. A summary of the 2009-2010 external review is attached at the end of this
document.
Director/Co-Founder Statement:
When I welcomed the first cohort of the Masters Degree Program in Conflict Resolution, fall
term, 1996, I also mentioned two key items of interest. First, the degree program had not been
approved yet, and if it was not approved, admitted students could use their CR credits towards a
Masters Degree in Speech Communication. Second, as the teacher of most of the courses in the
CR program, I was also a full-time replacement faculty member in the Philosophy Department at
Lewis and Clark College. My cofounder, Mary Zinkin, and I were adjunct faculty members at
PSU, with an extensive background as practitioners: Mary as a mediator and trainer, and me as a
peace activist, organizer, and high school teacher. The other unusual reality was that, initially,
our program had to survive on self-support with no financial support outside of tuition and grants,
and there would be no tenure lines.
Over the years, we went off of self-support and added four tenure lines, but only after we had
used the self-support model to build our program up to 6.75 FTE (We now have 7.75 FTE). Our
graduate program (and now our undergraduate program) are consistent revenue generators.
However, our financial success of our program is only part of the story. On one hand, we have
been successful by a variety of measures, as the reader will see in this document; on the other
hand, we remain a somewhat irregular program, in terms of image, our entrepreneurial history,
our lack of being a fully approved department, and our style, which has been perceived as, at
times, iconoclastic by those who remain unconvinced that our scholarly work and student
competencies are, or should be, central to the Universities mission.
Other surprises over the years include:







Many more international students that I expected;
Many long-term relationships with alumni in prominent CR positions and in PhD
programs (thank you, Facebook);
Vastly increasing practicum and internship opportunities locally and around the globe;
The steep increase in “conflict resolution skills” being added to a wide variety of job
announcements;
There have been fewer students than expected in teaching, counseling, and business
degree programs who are taking our courses because of strict credentialing requirements
in those fields;
A lack of support for interdisciplinary studies because of financial pressures on
departments;
A huge increase in the scholarly and professional sophistication in the discipline of
peace and conflict studies.

Centrality to the PSU mission:
Portland State University’s mission is to enhance the intellectual, social, cultural and economic
qualities of urban life by providing access throughout the life span to a quality liberal education
for undergraduates and an appropriate array of professional and graduate programs especially
relevant to metropolitan areas. The University conducts research and community service that
support a high quality educational environment and reflect issues important to the region. It
actively promotes the development of a network of educational institutions to serve the
community. Conflict Resolution was originally developed, and continues, to be central to PSU’s
mission, by being especially relevant to our metropolitan area (including employers based in
Portland who work throughout the world). Our program arose from community meetings, where
it was clear that community groups and organizations needed more refined conflict resolution
skills, research, as well as program dispute system design and evaluation. Students from the
metropolitan area, in addition to international students with connections to our metropolitan area,
have needed the conflict resolution capacity-building and professional competencies that are the
core of our education. Student practica, professional projects, and theses are geared to provide
community, as well as scholarly, assets.
Engagement is PSU's academic leadership position, the integrating principle for the institution's
teaching, scholarship and service activities. Supporting the leadership position are three
4
academic priorities, below. Conflict Resolution is committed to enhancing PSU’s academic
leadership position in the following ways.
1. Improve student success through engaged learning experiences. Both our current
graduate program and our proposed undergraduate program provide a high degree of
engaged learning experiences. CR requires 300 hour practica, as well as professional
projects that engage community partners, and provide assets to community organizations.
Even student theses often address community needs and engage members of the Portland
metropolitan community.
2. Expand innovative scholarship/creative activities that address regional issues and have
global significance. Conflict Resolution provides peace system capabilities, as well as
conflict resolution interventions. CR is committed to the transformation of conflict into
collaboration on an interpersonal level, as well as facilitating institutional adaptation
towards evidence-based structures, internal and external conflict management system
design, and cultures of peace.
3. Enhance educational opportunity in the Portland Metropolitan Region. Conflict
Resolution partners with Metropolitan community colleges, as well as other colleges and
universities throughout the state and region. We host the Peace and Conflict Studies
Consortium that is dedicated to increasing CR curriculum throughout the region, as well
as promoting scholarship and research collaboration.
The three priorities provide the framework for integrating the traditional activities of instruction
and scholarship. An original fourth priority, to advance selected programs that establish our
leadership, has subsequently been identified as a goal to advance the institution and the three
priorities through investments in selected programs. The goals are to:
1. Improve student success by increasing the rate of completion for undergraduate students
(in support of the first priority listed above—student success). As we plan to begin a
Conflict Resolution Major, we are committing ourselves to the highest rate of degree
completion by maximizing advising and regular contact with majors through office visits,
activities, and online engagement.
2. Identify specific and measurable undergraduate learning objectives integrated across
majors and general education that demonstrate the value of students' learning
experiences, especially including the impact of engagement (in support of the first
priority listed above—student success).
3. Implement a process for advancing/nurturing high quality academic and scholarship
programs that demonstrate Portland State's leadership in engagement (in support of all
the priorities listed).
4. Develop and support pathway programs to increase participation in higher education for
Portland's diverse population (in support of the third priority listed above—educational
opportunity).
How does your program/department advance the University’s mission, themes, and priorities?
Conflict Resolution’s contribution to the advancement of University mission, themes, and
priorities is listed above. CR’s mission is listed below:
The primary mission of Portland State University’s Program in Conflict Resolution is to
provide the highest quality education for undergraduate and graduate students seeking the
latest and most comprehensive methods, practices, theories, and insights concerning peace
processes and conflict resolution techniques. Our secondary mission is to help our students
5
achieve and maintain professional careers in peace advocacy and conflict resolution practice.
In pursuing these two missions, we see ourselves promoting peace and conflict resolution in
a wide variety of settings, both locally and throughout the world. All of our faculty are
themselves professional peace advocates and/or conflict resolution practitioners. In this way,
we stay intimately linked to the working world of peace activism and conflict resolution.

Efficiently identify strengths and weaknesses of your program/department.
Strengths:
 One of the largest CR programs in the U.S.;
 Diverse expertise in faculty members and courses;
 Strong international student base;
 Empowering and educating predominately (approx. 75 percent) women into professional
and academic advancement;
 Faculty members have an international reputation, with publishing achievements, as well
as international academic association leadership positions;
 Balance of international and domestic CR emphases;
 Transformative and paradigm-shifting approach to CR;
 Educating for transformation toward effective civil culture, and away from polarizing and
dysfunctional social, political, and economic incivility;
 Urban setting in a progressive community
o http://travel.latimes.com/articles/sns-trvmain3-wk1-portland
 Strong interdisciplinary faculty connections
 Faculty is widely published in the field
 We are affiliated with four peace and conflict resolution institutes
o Oregon Peace Institute
o Northwest Institute for Conflict Resolution
o Peace and Conflict Studies Consortium
o Newhall Nonviolence Institute
 Students produce important professional projects and award-winning theses.
 We have numerous community partnerships that benefit students and faculty members.
 Faculty/student collaborative research projects.
Weaknesses:
 Due to increasingly limited state funding (now at 13% of PSU’s budget), we have limited
internal revenue streams to draw upon.
7

Budget reductions have undermined PSU commitment to interdisciplinary work because
the current budget model focuses on individual department profitability. CR is a
discipline that benefits from interdisciplinary collaboration; however such cooperative
educational approaches have been obstructed by the current budget model.
Quality of Instruction and Curriculum
Does the program have adequate and experienced personnel?
Yes, we are the same size as the Anthropology department, and our faculty members have deep
experience and scholarly proficiency. The faculty’s average time at PSU’s CR Program is about
ten years and all taught elsewhere, and did professional work in the field, prior to joining us.
Are there areas where your faculty is particularly strong?





Conflict Analysis
Mediation/Negotiation
Peace Education/Journalism
Nonviolence/War Prevention
Restorative Justice
Psychology and Philosophy
Practica/Internships/NGOs
How does your particular faculty mix support the program’s objectives?
We believe that we have an excellent mix, as communicated in the above list.
Describe the strengths of the curriculum and its quality and rigor.
Our students must complete a thesis or professional project. The thesis is a rigorous creation of
a scholarly asset, and our professional project is a rigorous creation of a community asset, that
includes a community partner. A community representative sits on the student’s professional
project committee, and must be satisfied with both the quality of the asset and the quality of the
written report. We have a significant number of international students, who must meet
sophisticated writing standards to qualify them as CR professionals as alumni.
What are the emerging trends in your field? How is your unit poised to address those trends?
Restorative justice, conflict mapping, and humanitarian work are three emerging trends in CR,
and we give these trends attention in both of our coursework and in our practica
What is the role and function of online learning in your programs?
We are steadily increasing our commitment to online learning at the graduate, undergraduate,
and community learning components of our work. We offer fully online and hybridized courses.
Our undergraduate major can be put almost fully online, excepting the Conflict Skills course.
8
How does your program support the institutional diversity and international initiatives?
We have had the support of Teaching Assistant funding from a local foundation to recruit
international students. Also, some of our international students are supported by Fulbright
grants. Over the course of our program’s history, we have enrolled approximately 85-90%
women, with a significant number of minority students, single mothers, and a diversity of
sexual/gender orientations.

 Mediation/Negotiation
 Peace Education/Journalism
 Nonviolence/War Prevention
 Restorative Justice
 Psychology and Philosophy
Where is there growth potential?
Faculty members have gotten support for their scholarly work; however, we have not done
enough empirical research, so this is an area that we are actively pursuing with proposals.
How does the department/program’s scholarly activity advance the curriculum?
Our curriculum is built on the scholarly research and writing of the faculty.
9
What are your department/program’s formative and summative assessment measures?
This year's assessment is focused on program design and curricular structure. This is due, in
part, to the recent creation and approval of our undergraduate major, which allows us to reimagine our overall form, and also in response to directives from the Dean's office to reduce the
number of elective offerings.
Our program's formative assessment measures are:
1. Poll students to anticipate what electives they need to complete their degree, to ensure those
electives are offered in coming year
2. Restructure offerings to maximize faculty strengths and to satisfy student interests
3. Develop recruitment plan, with focus on students with shared interests with faculty
specializations
Our program's summative assessment measures are:
1. Review student credit hours for previous years to determine which elective offerings have had
highest enrollment
2. Reconsider when/how electives are scheduled (recognizing that weekend and online courses
typically have high enrollment)
3. Reconfigure program offerings to maximize student benefit from degree programs
To what degree are undergraduate and graduate students involved in scholarly work?
Graduate students, who are writing theses, work in the area of their adviser's specializations.
This has been of great use to our faculty’s research projects.
How does your particular faculty mix support the program’s research and partnership objectives?
Yes, we are satisfied with our current faculty member’s mix of research and partnership’s
objectives. However, additional hires will provide a broader mix.
Describe the strengths of the scholarly work and its quality and rigor.
Two of our tenure-line faculty members have been able to achieve full professor status on the
strength of their scholarly work.
What are the emerging scholarly trends in your field? How is your unit poised to address those
trends?
Restorative Justice, Conflict Mapping, and War Prevention are three emerging scholarly trends
in conflict resolution. We have addressed those trends in community partnerships and potential
research funding sources.
How does the department/program connect through community engagement and service?
We are directly affiliated with four nonprofit organizations:
 Northwest Institute for Conflict Resolution

Undergraduate Program Efficiency and Effectiveness
What is your department’s approach to undergraduate advising? Does your department advise
students on all requirements for graduation, including general education requirements?
Our undergraduate major has just been approved by our Faculty Senate, so we are now
preparing our Undergraduate Advising Guide and awaiting our official liaison to the Advising
unit. We will advise our undergraduate students on their graduation requirements through the
automated Degree Advising Records System, which includes our general education requirements.
What are the barriers to student success in your department (for example bottleneck courses or
courses with significant D, W, F rates), and what is the department/program doing to alleviate
those barriers?
No barriers known yet.
How do you evaluate the effectiveness of your advising plan?
We will collect data on undergraduate graduation and employment rates, as well as student
advising evaluation forms.

Assessment of Student Achievement
What is the evidence of the student learning experience?
Student learning is assessed by their successful progression through the core curriculum of the
Master’s Program. They are required to have a passing grade (B or better) for each core class,
and achieve the learning goals for each core content area. The measures are as follows:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the breadth and depth of the conflict resolution
discipline (Perspectives in Conflict Resolution)
2. Demonstrate proficiency in mediation skills and conflict resolution communication
(Negotiation and Mediation/Advanced Mediation)
3. Demonstrate capacity to analyze psychological factors in conflicts and CR processes
(Psychology of CR)
4. Demonstrate capacity to analyze intercultural factors within conflict scenarios and
resolution practices (Intercultural Conflict)
5. Demonstrate understanding of philosophical explanation of conflict, and underlying
issues of ethics and morality (Philosophy of CR)
6. Establish ability to effectively review conflict resolution research and create
research/evaluation designs (Research Methods in CR)
7. Establish capacity to contribute to field in professional capacity (Practicum)
8. Demonstrate ability to synthesize literature and theory in service to research and/or
practice within the field (Thesis/Professional Project)
A standing agenda item at twice-monthly faculty meetings is Student Concerns, during which
faculty members are encouraged to raise issues about student performance and behavior. This
agenda item is intended to provide an additional safeguard for students who are struggling to
succeed in the program. The practicum is an opportunity for professionals, outside of the
program faculty and staff, to interact with students and provide additional assessment of student
preparedness for professional induction.
How is the program evaluating student academic performance?
Student academic performance is evaluated based on their grades in core courses, which are the
result of rigorous faculty evaluation, as well as their ongoing interaction with faculty and
advisors in regular program activities. External benchmarking occurs when students are placed
in the community, which happens during the practicum class that is supervised by our faculty, in
the individual practicum placements, supervised by community partners, and during the
professional projects that are tasked with the creation of enduring assets for community
organizations.
What are the post-graduate outcomes for the program?
Post-graduate outcomes are measured through alumni satisfaction and success surveys, which
focus on program alumni’s perception of curricular value. This is assessed through their
12
evaluation of how well the program prepared them to constructively engage conflict in their
personal lives, whether their degree was useful in procuring relevant employment or further
education, and whether and how they are using their education in their current career.

Summary Narrative.
Programs and departments should include a summary narrative that addresses issues that have
emerged from the analysis of data included under the five common categories.


Where has the unit excelled in providing quality education, and what assisted the
department in this achievement? Our strength is our teaching ability, and our support
of student career development and success. Three of our core faculty members have
teaching degrees, and many of us have won teaching awards and recognition.
Where does the department identify challenges, and what might alleviate those
barriers to academic quality? The central challenge of our academic unit is to be
working at a public urban university that only gets 13% of its budget from the state, while
trying to maintain a commitment to serve the educational interests and needs of lower
income students—an historic commitment of Portland State University—while receiving
meager alumni gifts. Our program was created, grown, and sustained in an era of
regular budget cuts and decentralization of University functions to academic units.
Though this has pressure has been a challenge for CR, it has also been a force for
creativity, as well as adaptation and excellence.

Typical ratio of graduate versus undergraduate enrollment in mixed U/G courses.
Approximately 30% Graduate--70%Undergraduate
What percentage of core courses and regularly offered electives are taught by tenuretrack faculty? Approximately 45% of core courses and electives are taught by tenuretrack faculty to 55% of core courses and electives are taught by fixed-term faculty.
For programs with both a thesis and non-thesis option, what proportion of graduates
utilize each option, what proportion switch from thesis to non-thesis? Over the last three
years, 17 students graduated with a thesis, which is 22% of the matriculated students
over the same period of time. The other 78% of graduates completed a professional
project with a substantial written narrative.
What proportion of student credits are taught in approved versus experimental courses
(510, 610, etc.)? For the upcoming 2014-2015 academic year, we have scheduled 76%
discretely numbered courses and 24% omnibus numbered courses. Of the nine omnibus
numbered courses:
o Three are taught by a new tenure-line faculty member in his research areas;
o One is in its final stage of the approval process;
o Four are discrete numbered courses taught as two credit courses;
o One continues to be experimental;
Does the program have formally documented processes and associated criteria for
admission and graduation, aside from the general University standards? Yes, we have
higher admissions standards, and the quality of thesis and professional project is
uniquely rigorous.

In Relation to Research:
Comment on the availability of potential national and/or local research funding sources. What
trends or emphases are evident and to what extent does the program align with those trends? We
have an ongoing funding source in the Jubitz Family Foundation, which funds research, as well
as general program and student support. We have an additional avenue of research support for
nonviolence research from the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, though they only fund
NGOs, which means that such support would need to go to one of our affiliated nonprofit
organizations. We are in the process of aligning ourselves with conflict mapping and restorative
justice research and funding channels.
In Relation to Scale:
What number of tenured positions and fixed term FTE are utilized in the delivery of the graduate
program? 7.75 FTE
What number of ‘strands’ or areas of emphasis are offered in the program? Though we continue
to discussing this issue, and which terms to use, we currently divide our practical application
areas into International and Domestic.
How many faculty members are associated with each? Conflict Resolution can be conceived as a
core of theories, insights, and practices that spoke out into a number of careers and specialties
within careers. Our faculty members emphasize community (3.75 FTE) and peace advocacy (4.5
FTE) applications.
In Relation to Resources:
Does the program have necessary amounts and quality of space (labs, offices for GAs, studio
space, library, student meeting areas, etc.)? We provide all of these spaces to a limited degree.
Does the program have (or have access to) the necessary equipment and related materials (e.g.,
computer hardware and software, scientific equipment, etc.)? Yes
Does the program have (or access to) community engagement, service and community support?
Yes, PSU is a great supporter of community service and engagement.

Appendix 1: 2009-2010 External Review:
January 3, 2010
Dean Marvin Kaiser
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Portland State University
Portland ,Oregon
Thank you for the opportunity to visit and learn more about the Masters Program in Conflict
Resolution at Portland State University. We enjoyed meeting you and appreciated the opportunity
to talk with you and your colleagues in the Dean’s office as well as the faculty, staff and students
in the Program in Conflict Resolution. Thank you all for your hospitality, for the time you put
into our visit and for the good work that we observed in all aspects of the programs and its
administration.
This letter provides our perspectives on the questions you posed. These include the following:
1. How does this Program compare to others across the country?
2. How can the Program prosper under its current organizational structure?
3. Is it appropriate for the program to continue its original mission as a “careertrack/professionally” oriented program?
4. Should it develop and offer an undergraduate major?
5. Should the Masters program become more of an online degree?
6. Does the Program meet the standards of academic productivity that is expected of masterlevel degrees?
7. Is the faculty overburdened? What changes need to be implemented in order for the
faculty to thrive?
8. What would be the pros and cons of reorganizing the Program into a unit which would
include other academic programs?
9. What would be the pros and cons of remaining as a “stand-alone” academic unit?
10. Given the particular history of this program, what opportunities exist to raise additional
revenues?
1.
How Does the Program Compare To Others?
We were very favorably impressed with the faculty and students in the Program The
students are very good and appear in general to be remarkably satisfied with the quality of
education they are receiving. The faculty are dedicated to their students which is not necessarily
characteristic of other academic programs. As discussed more fully in another section of this
report, that is both a strength and a limitation as faculty find it exceedingly difficult to meet
student demands, student needs and to simultaneously pursue their own independent research
agendas.
16
The Program describes its unique niche as being one of the only programs that bases its
curriculum on an integration of social science and humanities disciplines. This is one of the only
conflict resolution programs that has emerged from the discipline of philosophy and that is indeed
a strength. With a faculty that is trained in a variety of intellectual traditions, the program has
developed a multi-disciplinary lens through which to understand both conflict and its analysis.
This multi-disciplinary lens has broadened the intellectual experience of students, most of whom
will use this background as practitioners to help them negotiate conflict in a wide range of work
settings. Recently, the faculty decided to move away from a thesis-driven program toward a
project driven focus. We think that this is a good decision, one that will help the Program to carve
out a distinctive niche in the field. While the Program continues to build its national
reputation,(as evidenced in part by the fact that the numbers of international students and students
from other parts of the country has grown,) one of its core strengths is its relationship to the local
and regional community. As importantly, at its core this program reflects and embodies the
mission of the University at large which includes “engagement with place and service learning.”
It is clear that while the Program continues to develop a national presence, it serves the mission of
PSU and is a good fit with this University.
Yet, we would discourage the program from totally eliminating the thesis option. One approach
to consider would be to maintain the thesis option by developing some qualifying criteria. Some
other programs in other parts of the country have required students to have a high GPA and to
develop and submit a proposal for a thesis, or even to have some sort of qualifying exam, (such as
comps.) This would allow some students who have demonstrated the ability to do thesis work to
pursue it and also help to ease the burden on faculty as fewer students would be writing theses. It
also would potentially improve the quality of the theses that are produced.
2.
How Can the Program Prosper Under its Current Organizational Structure?
We think that at this point in time, it makes sense for the program to remain as an independent
masters program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This conclusion is based in part on
the fact that we did not have in depth conversations related to the creation of a new unit that
would house other programs, such as Gender and Ethnic Studies etc. It is not clear however, what
would be accomplished, economically or intellectually by merging the program into another unit.
It is likely that such a move would have a negative impact on students as we heard from many
that they come to PSU for this program for this degree and they think the value of their degree
might suffer if its unique status was subsumed into a larger entity of some sort. This being said
there are a number of changes that could be made to the current structure that would improve the
student experience and the working conditions of the faculty. The following are the critical
changes that we believe must be addressed in order for the Program to prosper:
1. The salary anomalies among the faculty must be addressed and corrected. Based on the
information we had, it appears that these anomalies are “gendered.”( At the very least, the
faculty perceive that there is a correlation between gender and pay and perceptions can
erode trust and collegiality.) We understand that there are procedural constraints that
make this difficult, that salaries are always a contested domain, but it is clear that this is
causing stress, conflict and demoralization. This is a hard-working, committed faculty
and it is really important that people feel they are being treated fairly.
2. The Director should be put back in a tenure line and supported in his efforts to achieve
tenure. One idea is for him to finish his term (he has a year and one half to go) and then
be given a leave from teaching (essentially a paid leave) so he can complete scholarship
17
in progress and be put up for (and hopefully receive) tenure upon his return. His
administrative stipend should be increased as his salary is woefully low given the amount
of work involved in his teaching, administrative and overall duties.
3. Create an Associate Director line which ideally would be a new tenure track faculty line
that would give this and future Director’s much needed support.
4. The Program should develop internal governance policies that would help set criteria for
decision-making around course load, advising responsibilities, undergraduate roles as this
develops and for leadership terms and succession.
3.
Should the program to continue its original mission as a “careertrack/professionally” oriented program?
Our conclusion is that it makes sense at this moment in time for the program to continue to
define itself as a professional master’s program, albeit one that requires students to master a
substantial level of theoretical knowledge. We come to this conclusion for several reasons. The
first is that there simply aren’t enough faculty to support a program in which a thesis is required.
This practice has resulted in overburdening several faculty with supervising a draconian number
of thesis committees (several advise as many as 30 students engaged in thesis writing.) Students
feel frustrated by the burdens these faculty face and complain that they don’t have as much
guidance or access as they need. The faculty has recently decided to move to a project, rather than
a thesis requirement and we think this is a good decision.(see recommendation in section #1.)
Secondly, few students pursue doctoral degrees after they complete their masters. Given the fact
that the numbers of students applying and coming to the program remains very high, the
“professional” model is clearly a good fit for the pool of interested students. Thirdly, there
continues to be an unfilled need for more skilled collaborative problem solvers across a range of
workplaces and this program addresses this need extremely well.
Assuming the program continues this professional trajectory, we think improvements need to be
made in how practica/internships are achieved and evaluated, that a more comprehensive
placement program needs to be developed and better track of alumni’s careers should be kept. To
that end, it would serve the program well to conduct a survey of alumni, to create a more
interactive website through which alumni could be kept informed and through which current
students could connect with former students. In addition, it would help if a position were created
that would invest a person with the responsibility internship placement and coordination, of
helping create a robust network for job placement and post graduate opportunities.
The program is currently working to reorganize its practicum and internship requirement, a
change which will require students engaged in non-classroom activities to attend a weekly
seminar with a faculty member (as a group) to reflect on their work in the context of their
theoretical studies. We think this is an excellent plan, one which will help students to deepen their
understanding of the relationship of theory and practice. Additionally, giving coherency to the
practicum experience by more formally linking it to the theoretical/academic experience is an
important step in the direction of achieving more overall coherency to the curriculum and how
students understand it and organize their sequence of study. While the curriculum achieves good
breadth and depth, the overall impression is that the students’ experience is somewhat
disorganized. At present, there is little logical sequencing of courses, lacking are clearly
delineated outcomes for each course and for the curriculum overall. While students value this
flexibility, it would serve the program well to have a more clearly articulated set of expectations
for the program as a whole and for its parts. This would help students understand what they are
18
expected to learn, to measure their achievements and would help create criteria that could be used
in ongoing evaluation of programs strengths and weaknesses. Conflict Resolution as an academic
field has not promulgated standards of practice. In many ways, this is a good thing allowing
experimentation, interdisciplinary exploration and creative programming. But in order for
programs like this to be sustainable and to grow, the institutions of which they are a part need to
have some measurable criteria on which to base their decisions about growth, investment or the
lack thereof.
4.
Should the Program Develop and Offer An Undergraduate Major?
It appears that there is significant demand from undergraduates to take conflict resolution courses.
And it is likely, given the conditions of the local, national and international environments that this
demand will continue into the future. We are not however convinced that starting a major is the
best course of action. This will have to come at the expense of the current graduate program
which we do not think makes sense at this moment. But there are a number of ways that
undergraduate interest could be met that would not tax the faculty and would offer a nationally
unique academic program. One approach would be to offer an undergraduate certificate in
Conflict Resolution. There is high demand from students across the country for certificate
programs. This certificate could be offered to upper level undergraduates as there are already
course numbers available to advanced undergraduates. If this is pursued an interdisciplinary
steering committee should be established composed of interested faculty who would have an
interest in participating in this program. If the Certificate program had a small amount of start-up
funding, that could be used to “buy out” faculty from other departments so that they can teach in
the program. Another idea which we recommend be explored would be the establishment of a 5
year BA/MA program in Conflict Resolution. The building blocks are already in place. This
would be the only program like this in the U.S. (we think) and it could serve as a national model
for other universities.
5.
Should the Masters program become more of an online degree?
We think that it is premature to initiate a full blown online program. Rather we recommend that
the program proceed with its current approach which is to work with the new faculty member
who has significant expertise in online teaching to test out various courses and who has started to
work with individual members of the faculty to develop online components of their courses. This
will allow time to see which aspects of the program are well suited to on learning, what kind of
faculty training needs to be undertaken and to assess the student experience. Since one of the core
components of the program is to learn and master various conflict resolution processes, it is a
complex challenge to translate the pedagogy of experiential learning into a virtual environment.
We encourage this to be explored and think that the faculty at PSU could make an important
contribution to the overall field by testing, evaluating and implementing models of online
education in both the teaching and practice of conflict resolution.
6.
Does the Program meet the standards of academic productivity that is expected of
master-level degrees?
Our general impression is that the students do receive a thorough and comprehensive grounding
in the theory and practice of conflict resolution. The curriculum does integrate theoretical course
work with important skill building courses. As discussed in an earlier section of this report, we
agree with the Program’s decision to move away from the thesis requirement toward a projectdriven focus. Unless there is further investment in faculty positions, it is unlikely that the majority
19
of students will have adequate supervision to produce Masters Theses that meet conventional
academic standards.
The Program has recently been reviewing its methodology requirement, a process that we also
believe is important. The faculty have recognized that students need better training in qualitative
research methods in particular and we agree that this will help to improve the quality of the
academic program. As mentioned earlier, the curriculum review that the Program itself has
undertaken for itself (which focuses on measuring core competencies for each course and for the
overall student experience) will also positively impact the quality of the academic experience.
7.
Is the faculty overburdened? What changes need to be implemented in order for the
faculty to thrive?
Put simply, the answer to this important question is yes. There are too few tenured and tenure
track faculty. As a consequence, those who are in these tracks, are supervising too many thesis
committees, they get no relief from teaching and they have much too little relief to pursue the
research agendas which were the basis for their original hiring and for their own career paths.
There are several options for addressing this very critical issue which we addressed in an earlier
section of this report.
8.
What would be the pros and cons of reorganizing the Program into a unit which
would include other academic programs?
We addressed this in an earlier section and indicated that, given the information that was
available to us, we believe it makes sense to maintain the current organizational structure as a
stand-alone unit. At the same time, as we also indicated, we think that a Steering Committee
should be created- composed of faculty from other unit, the consequence of which would be to
help move forward new undergraduate initiatives and as importantly this would create a structural
vehicle through which the discussion of organizational models could be filtered.
9.
What would be the pros and cons of remaining as a “stand-alone” academic unit?
We addressed this in an earlier section and indicated that we support the “stand-alone” model at
this time. But without creating a more robust set of external stakeholder, i.e. other faculty,
undergraduate participation, and external supporters, i.e. alumni, community members and
outside scholars, the Program could become more of an “island” of its own and lose the
opportunities to have a larger community of participants and supporters.
10.
Given the particular history of this program, what opportunities exist to raise
additional revenues?
We strongly recommend the creation of a Program Advisory Board composed of strategically
selected alumni, community members, and distinguished scholars (perhaps emeritus faculty from
other institutions who have name recognition in the Conflict Resolution field and no conflict of
interest.) This would be both a fund and friend raising board who would work with the Director
to “brand” this Program. For example, the Board might raise money for endowed student
scholarships, endowed international, national or local internships or perhaps an endowed lecture
series. A longer term goal might be to raise money to endow a faculty chair that would support a
“Visiting Professor of Practice or of Theory.” This is a longer term strategy, but one that we
believe would have long term value.
20
In conclusion, we think this program is worthy of ongoing support and further investment. If the
issues we delineated above are addresses, there is little doubt in our minds that the program at
PSU will emerge as one of the best Master’s Programs nationally and internationally. In addition,
to the suggestions we make in this report, we must note that the Program is very understaffed.
With only one staff-person, it is simply not possible for the program to reach its potential, to
serve the students as they deserve and to support this very hard-working faculty. Even a half time
assistant would make an enormous difference.
Please let us know if you have any further questions as we would be happy to be engaged in
further conversations if that would be helpful.
Again, it was a pleasure meeting you and look forward to future interactions.

Masters Theses at PSU
Committee membership and primary advising*. 2009 – present
At PSU, only tenured professors are allowed to be chairs of thesis in name. In a
department with few tenured professors the resultant workload would be
impracticable, therefore, others do the work of a chair as necessary – these people
are called “primary advisors”.
