Granada University is preparing a cabinet to resolve conflicts.
The clash between two professors at the University of Granada, Luis García Montero and Jose Antonio Fortes, "the statement condemning the former for injuries and the consequences of this jumped to information in the past week. A and no more. At least that is what it claims the University of Granada (UGR) that works to create a cabinet whose end will mediation resolve conflicts both internally and discussed. Already done so successfully pioneered the Complutense University, which currently has the Complutense Institute for Mediation and Conflict Management (Imedia). Creating a similar body is one of the commitments contained in the agenda of the current government of the UGR. And there have been some steps.
The work began after the inauguration of the rector, Francisco González Lodeiro, who recently has seen the entrenchment of what your day would be a minor conflict has finally settled in justice and is mirrored by output UGR, at least temporarily, the Professor of English Literature Luis García Montero, who asked for a leave of absence next year.
His attempts to avoid it will be in vain, in light of the statement by the poet who believes that there is in the Department an appropriate environment so preferred time away from teaching. "The Cabinet of mediation would have been the appropriate forum to address the issue, but the issue has been escalating, has had a very wide path and has become entrenched," laments the inspector's services UGR, Luis Megías.
encysts precisely at the university level. But he ruled out with important consequences for the image of the University, although the conflict between members of this community are not unique to Granada. Is difficult to tell if you have been running this cabinet had resolved the situation differently. In any case, the intention is that it does not recur.
Therefore, the UGR is working on several fronts to train future mediators, who need a graduate and intervene at the request of the parties involved in agreement and in the field of Inspection Services, which run from the next Council Government on the internal rules that will help better regulate the service and make it known. The horizon for its creation will depend on the training of mediators which shall likely future world of law and psychology, but must have a "personal aptitudes." If the parties in conflict decide, on a voluntary basis, submit to mediation must sign a contract, explains Megías, with which they agree not to use information outside of that context.
The result of the action in some way linked to the Inspectorate, the University Ombudsman and the very UGR. In fact, currently in Andalusian universities conflict can occur only go to the University Ombudsman. There is still in the mediation community as a cabinet which aims to create Granada to have an internal system of cooperative management of conflict.
Preventive work started months ago and is an example of this is the day of awareness to the mediation that was organized last June led the government team of the UGR. There realized the Complutense experience, which began in 2004 and the various aspects of mediation between universities. The goal is that everyone knows the importance of mediation.
this future cabinet, which expected the mediators will work with a kind of shift system and if it capable of mediating a case will be assigned to that touch, are called students and teachers who have a problem with another student or or with a teacher or peer educators. "Obviously when a conflict is resolved in the field of mediation is better than in the disciplinary" adds Megías. The
Granada University Ombudsman in the coming years will be Enrique Hita, newly elected, but has not yet taken office. In his choice last week and was in favor of resolving conflicts within this academic field, provided these are not strictly disciplinary matters in which the Inspectorate has to act on its own. Ginés
