Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities

The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) strives to support the educational mission of Boise State University by helping to create an environment where civil discourse may occur free from discrimination, harassment, threats, or intimidation. OSRR works with students to resolve conflicts in a pro-active, productive manner by offering opportunities to resolve conflicts through the Student Mediation Program.
