5.1 History of Campus-ADR.org
How did this site? What is the purpose of this site?
  The Campus Conflict Resolution Resource Center has come into being thanks to a seed grant from the CRInfo project and a major three-year grant from FIPSE. Wayne State University's College of Urban, Labor, and Metropolitan Affairs administers the grant, which began October 1, 2000 with Bill Warters serving as Program Director.

The primary objective of this project is to significantly increase campus adminstrator, faculty, staff and student awareness of, access to and use of conflict resolution information specifically tailored to the higher education context. Campus-ADR.org is one method of providing greater accessibility to this information.
