When interpersonal conflicts arise, which is natural in any residential setting, students are encouraged to take responsibility for resolving issues with one another through clear and open communication. If conflicts cannot be resolved directly, students may reach out to staff members in the Student Affairs Division or Ombuds Office for guidance.
For issues related to College operations, students are encouraged to direct their concerns to the responsible department or official. If an issue cannot be resolved by Kenyon's internal processes, students may file a complaint with the College's accreditor or other external agencies. Learn more.
