M.S.W., University of Arkansas at Little Rock, 1982; B.S.W., Harding University, 1978. 1 am grateful
to the members of Campus PRISM, particularly sujatha baliga, Kaaren Williamsen, and David Karp, for
their assistance with thinking through the practical application of campus-based restorative justice (RJ)
programs and to Mary Koss for her thoughtful, detailed comments on both RI and campus sexual assault
research. I am grateful to Kevin Swartout and Antonia Abbey for assisting with my understanding of their
research. I am grateful to Nancy Cantalupo, Eric Carpenter, Drew Dawson, Mary Anne Franks, Leigh
Goodmark, Kaaryn Gustafson, Tamara Lave, Ahjand (Billingsley) Macquoid, Martha Mahoney,
Madeleine Plasencia, Tom Robinson, Robert Sand, Steve Schnably, Jane Stoever, and Deborah Weissman
for their thoughtful comments. I also received helpful comments from the law faculties of Southern
Methodist University, the University of Miami, and Florida International University; attendees at my talk
for the University of California at Irvine Initiative to End Family Violence; members of the University of
Miami Women  and Gender Studies colloquium; and panelists and participants in the Violence Against
Women  Symposium of the 2016 Association of American Law Schools Annual Meeting/Annual Texas
Tech Criminal Law Symposium and the International Restorative Conference. I am grateful for the able
research assistance given to me by Marlon Baquedano, Sawyeh Esmaili, Kathryn Della Fera, Nicole
Pecorella, Janyl Relling, and Gina Loredo and to the campus administrators and Title IX investigators
who spoke with me candidly about the challenges they face. I am grateful for the excellent librarian
assistance available at the University of Miami School of Law. Finally, I thank the editors of the Texas
Tech Law Review for their careful editing. Of course, I alone am responsible for any mistakes found
herein.
