Webinar Wednesdays - "Micro-Misbehaviors, Macro-Consequences" - Branston Harris, PhD. Feb. 18, 2026

Описание: In today's higher education environment, student conduct challenges do not always arrive in the form of overt violations or extreme disruptions. Increasingly, faculty and staff encounter subtle yet persistent behaviors that undermine civility, strain institutional resources, and disrupt the learning or operational environment. This presentation, Micro-Misbehaviors, Macro-Consequences, will explore the nuanced landscape of low-level student misconduct-including behaviors such as flooding inboxes with excessive emails, monopolizing office hours and campus services, invoking complaint processes as a means of coercion, and displaying passive-aggressive resistance to policy enforcement. Participants will learn to recognize patterns and intent behind micro-misbehaviors and understand how these seemingly minor actions can have disproportional effects on morale, workflow, and equitable access to resources. The session will offer practical strategies for early intervention, documentation, and boundary-setting that empower staff and faculty to address these behaviors confidently and consistently. Additionally, the presentation will examine how tone-setting, communication framing, and consistent policy application contribute to a culture of mutual respect and accountability.
