Dr. Bill Kibler serves as Vice President for Student Affairs and Professor
of Counselor Education at Mississippi State University.  His expertise is in
the areas of academic integrity, student rights and responsibilities, and
student judicial affairs.  He has co-authored a book on academic integrity,

Perspectives and co-authored and edited a book on student judicial affairs,
The Administration of Campus Discipline:  Student, Organizational and
Community Issues.

Maryland-College Park, and edits the national quarterly Synthesis:  Law and
Policy in Higher Education as well as its sister publication, Synfax Weekly

1:15 to 2:15 p.m.

Learn about student's rights, rights as faculty, and how you can construct
your syllabi in ways that will head off problems or enable you to handle
them appropriately if they arise.
 
Promoting a Culture of Civility on Campus
2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Rio Grande Room of the MSC
 
Learn about non-coercive strategies to promote a "safe space" on campus.

and what practical steps students, faculty, and staff can take in this
direction.
 
To gain maximum benefit, please print and review the following before the
workshop.  These case studies address general issues; however, the speakers
will focus on topics of interest to the audience.
