Restorative Supports At Penn

RP@P is housed within the Center for Community Standards and Accountability as an umbrella for the University’s Restorative Practices. RP@P represents a collective of campus partners working together to create a safe, healthy and productive campus community. 

RP@P supports proactive community building and education, as well as healing and accountability in the aftermath of harm, whether that harm is a violation of the code of student conduct, the code of sexual misconduct, or another form of harm not covered under any code on campus.

RP@P supports the Penn community towards healing, accountability and positive community building through several modalities including various types of facilitated dialogue. While supportive and structured dialogue is often a central part of a Restorative Process, engagement is voluntary for all participants and as such is highly adaptable based on who is participating. The path toward a Restorative Solution is tailored to your specific situation and will be identified in partnership between participants and facilitators making sure to honor the needs of all those involved.

RP and Sexual Harm
With a focus on healing and accountability RP@P works to support both people who have experienced and caused sexual harm. RP@P works with care and intentionality to center the needs of the person who was harmed while honoring the humanity of all people and our collective capacity for growth and change.

RP and Student Conduct
RP@P works closely with the Center for Community Standards and Accountability (CSA) to provide an alternative resource for students who have experienced or caused harm that violates a policy in the Code of Student Conduct, with the exception of academic integrity cases. RP@P works with the parties involved to identify needs and paths toward repair that do not focus on removal or punishment but instead meaningful accountability and right relationship.
