2014 Portland State University Academic Program ReviewConflict 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

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 academic priorities, below. Conflict Resolution is committed to enhancing PSU’s academic leadership position in the following ways.

4

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 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

5

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.

Clearly articulate the goals and objectives of your program/department.

Goal 1: Strengthen Masters Degree Program: Expected Outcomes Premier internship/practicum programs, locally, regionally, and internationally; Fully functional on-campus Conflict Resolution Resource Center, as a clinical

opportunity for graduate students; Updated graduate advising plan, including the creation of a self-advising web page; Graduate Assistant support for one quarter of our international students; 90% alumni job placement; Double tenure-lines so that all of the core faculty are on tenure tracks; Double support staff from one to two; Move the Director to a faculty office, and turn the Director’s office into a dedicated

conference room for faculty, students, and community partners; Support these objectives by increased Student Credit Hours and outside grants.

Goal 2: Increase Funded Research We plan to increase Faculty external-grant funding/expenditures to $30,000 in FY 2015

and $40,000 by FY 2016.

Goal 3: Expand Community and Global Engagement Increase community partnerships; Increase student/faculty diversity; Increase global collaborations; Increase the number of online courses; Increase support for affiliated nonprofit organizations: Oregon Peace Institute, Northwest

Institute for Conflict Resolution, Newhall Nonviolence Institute, Peace and Conflict Resolution Consortium;

Increase support for student nonprofit organizations: Students United for Nonviolence, Conflict Resolution Resource Center

Goal 4: Minor degree program We have a proposal completed and submitted for a minor in Conflict Resolution.

Goal 5: Online war prevention courses for Rotarians We are currently beta-testing a course for Rotarians.

Goal 6: Strengthen our student community This academic year, we have been strengthening our student community by holding three

2-hour open dialogue sessions between students and faculty.

Goal 7: Possible Future Initiatives Hybrid online distance learning master’s degree program; Mostly online undergraduate minor and major; Submit proposal for a graduate certificate in leadership; Create a diversity emphasis area with a CR diversity trainer’s certificate; Speed up completion of program by reducing the credit hours from 63 to 54, and

continuing to be professional project-intensive; Web-newsletter/blog created and circulated to students and alumni;

Cris Toffolo, 09/28/14,

Is this set of goals a “wish list,” or does it have the status of a strategic plan? Is there a timeline for meeting particular goals?

Robert Gould, 10/07/14,

Changing to 54 credit hours would make it easier for students to finish within two years. We have been at the high end of credits required at PSU and nationally, as we have observed.


How does this compare to other Mas on your campus? To other Mas in CR nationally?


We tend to be opportunistic about our goals and objectives, rather than strategic. There are strengths and weaknesses to each approach, but a combination would probably be best.


You have many items listed here – are 2 or 3 your major priorities, that are likely to get to the planning stage soon? Do you have a specific timeline in mind for some or all of them?


We are considering this as an annual process.


Will this become an annual activity? How does it fit with your larger program goals? Why is it a good use of faculty time?


We have been teaching all of the courses for the Minor, so no new faculty needed.

Celia Cook-Huffman, 09/28/14,

Are there staffing needs associated with this?


Do you have specific target goals for the increases?


No exact targets.


Do you have a specific plan for doing any of these 3 things drawn up?


We are always expanding our partners. Again, faculty members can provide details.


Do you have specific partners in mind?


We are working on some now. Faculty members can mention details during our Skype conversation.


Do you have specific grants in mind?


Yes, we need a dedicated conference room for faculty and graduate student meetings. Currently, our conference room is shared with our Director’s office


Do you have any space needs? What types? How pressing are these? Is there any realistic possibility of getting them – if so do mention.


We have four tenure lines, and four fixed term faculty members. We would like to have two more tenure lines as soon as possible.


Are you asking here for 6 more tenure lines? What time frame do you see for ideally bringing these people on board (e.g., 1 per year?). Do you know what each person would do ideally? Do you have topical areas identified?


We work on these goals and objectives, and are making progress. However, it is not a detailed as a strategic plan.

Summer institutes and collaborative conferencing; Increase completion rate; Consider other associated certificate programs; Consider a small doctorate program, perhaps a Conflict Resolution Doctorate (CRD); Consider other online distance learning programming for community members; More tenure-track and fixed-term faculty members; Improved department offices and conference space; More international CR and humanitarian connections:

o This website, created by one of our alumni, is a template for a micro-humanitarian network: http://www.thesenumbers.com/

Contribute to a process toward accreditation in CR; Assistantships for more/all graduate students.

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 Instituteo Northwest Institute for Conflict Resolutiono Peace and Conflict Studies Consortiumo 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. 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

7

http://travel.latimes.com/articles/sns-trvmain3-wk1-portland

http://www.thesenumbers.com/

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.

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.

We look forward to such a discussion.


We hope to discuss this with you further – rational? How is it working? Etc.


Conflict/crisis mapping is new to PSU. Humanitarian organizations need conflict resolution to get aid to marginalized peoples, so we would like to counter the militarization of aid.


Conflict mapping is an established technique – is there a new aspect you are highlighting? When you mention humanitarian work, one of the main developments in last decade is the militarization of this and the blurring of the lines between h. and mil. Aid … is this what you mean?


Excellent suggestion!


Can you link the faculty strengths to particular program objectives? Would that make a stronger argument for increasing tenure lines?


Adding two more tenure lines would afford time and discipline for some of our (currently non-tenure) faculty to perform more research in their specialties.


Above you suggest you need 6 more tenure lines … would these deepen expertise in any of these areas, or do you see adding additional areas? If so, what would these be and why are they necessary to the logic of your current program?

Number of diversity-related courses offered. 5 Number of online courses offered. 12, including all but one course for the UG Major.

Quality of Scholarly and Creative Work

What are your department/program’s current areas of strength?

Faculty members publish in the following areas: Conflict Analysis 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.

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 re-imagine our overall form, and also in response to directives from the Dean's office to reduce the number of elective offerings.

9


We feel that our field needs more empirical research, and PSU prioritizes it .


What is the goal here? Why the felt need to make this shift?


We think that teaching and community work importantly add to publishing, though tenure decisions prioritize publishing.


Are there other ways to articulate faculty strengths? Can we help with this in any particular way?


We will be glad to share how we work with community organizations.


We would like to learn more about this – where you are at; why the decision to do this; if in place, how are they working?

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 year2. Restructure offerings to maximize faculty strengths and to satisfy student interests3. 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 enrollment2. 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 Oregon Peace Institute Peace and Conflict Studies Consortium Newhall Nonviolence Institute

We also work with a wide variety of community organizations through our practica and professional projects.

Total research and support grants: $1,303,348.12 (1996-2014)

Odd that this question appears twice, and that we answered it differently! We need a clearer distinction between emerging trends in our field and emerging trends in our program.


Above,on p. 8 you give a different answer to the same question – not war prevention by humanitarian aid … why the difference?


If we choose to add an honors component to our undergraduate program, then we can add some UG research.


No undergraduate research? Why not?


What objectives did you assess?


Amanda Byron, who coordinates our assessment work can provide more details at our Skype session. Over the life of the program, student interests have shaped our hiring and course development.


Can you articulate more clearly how there are assessment measures?


Say more about this … where are you at with this? What are your main goals w.r.t. this?

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.

Degrees Granted: 271 Masters Degrees Classes with high DFW rates: None Advising plans: Graduate advising manual is attached; an undergraduate advising

manual is being designed. Degree maps: Major degree map in development. Enrollment by major: Major is just beginning fall term. Number of undergraduate degrees awarded (include minors and certificates). None

yet. Number of graduate degrees awarded (no graduate certificates): 271 Masters Degrees Number/proportion of diverse students: See above. Number of doctoral students: 0 Support available to graduate students: Program, practicum, thesis, and professional

project advising, University registration, financial aid, health and counseling services, international service, disability accommodation service, technical support service.

Gainful employment information: mediation certificate

Assessment of Student Achievement

What is the evidence of the student learning experience?

11


Our program has found jobs for students and is expanding our capacity to do so. We are working with PSU to expand its capacity to help.


Do you have the ability to do job finding or job placement?


The grades, D. F, and Withdrawl.


What is this?

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 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.

Cost Effectiveness, Program Productivity, and Level of Institutional Support.

Discuss budgetary trends/productivity over the last five years.

12


Some faculty members have students assess specific course outcomes. We are moving to a more comprehensive student evaluation process.


How are these measured? Demonstrated? Do you do surveys of the sites at which you place interns? Do you collect papers or portfolios of work and collectively review them as a faculty? Etc.


No, but that is a good idea. Our discussions about a common grading policy have been inconclusive so far.

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.

It would be helpful to have an outside perspective on our situation. Thanks!


Can we help you tell this story? Do we NEED to help you tell this story? To what ends?

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 tenure-track faculty? Approximately 45% of core courses and electives are taught by tenure-track 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.

Does the program have a Graduate Program Handbook or other written materials that clearly define student and faculty responsibilities, expected rate of progress, conditions and procedures for removal from the program, etc.? Yes, attached.

Information that would provide perspective on mentoring and the ability of the faculty to foster immersion into the field.

Number of students actively preparing theses or dissertations, compared to total number of students and to faculty FTE:

o 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.

o Of the thesis committee slots (three per thesis), on average, each faculty member served on 7.2 thesis committees over the last three years.

In Relation to Research:

14

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.

I think that is has been difficult to communicate the diversity within the CR field to administrators—it is quite different than many other fields. Yes, we could use some help.


Say more – can this review be used to further this conversation … would that be helpful for us to address this directly in calls?

Dean Marvin KaiserCollege of Liberal Arts and SciencesPortland State UniversityPortland ,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

“career-track/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 master-

level 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.

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

16


We have made this switch, so that only highly qualified students planning to go onto PhD work do a thesis. This is working quite well.


It is clear that you have implemented this recommendation … how is it working for you?

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 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.

17


Yes.


Done?


No.


Done?


Long story. I am in the process of relinquishing my tenure line, so that a younger faculty member can use it to greater advantage. I’ve been the director since co-founding the program in 1996.


Has this been done? If not, why?


We are still working on this by correcting long (budget-driven) delays in promotions.


Has this been done? Why or why not? Is it still an issue?

3. Should the program to continue its original mission as a “career-track/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 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?

18


A document for students that details a more thorough account of program outcomes would be an important improvement.


Done?


Course sequencing is more organized in the cohort model. The potentially violent incident was driven by a personal problem.


Discuss … you also mention in another document a violent incident with a student related to this issue – how has this been changed?


Yes.


Done?


Done?


Done?


Partially, yes, though more work is needed.



Done?


Done?

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 project-driven focus. Unless there is further investment in faculty positions, it is unlikely that the majority 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.

19


Yes, our methodology course is much improved!


Done? what changes were made and has it helped?


We are not currently going fully online with our masters degree, but we are considering it for our major.


Given this advice, are you moving in this direction currently? If so, why?


We got funding for a new tenure line that made CR the same faculty size as the Anthropology Department, which has both a major and masters degree. Our major starts officially this year, but we have been teaching almost all of the courses for the past couple of years.


Why did you go against this advice? Is it working?

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.

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.

20


Not done; still a great idea.


Has this been added?


We have not done this yet. It is still a consideration.


Done? Is it working?

Again, it was a pleasure meeting you and look forward to future interactions.
