Dr. Garrido’s dissertation, The Development of a Theoretically-Supported Model of Resolution for Student Complaints in Higher Education, conducted a detailed assessment of the conflict resolution processes and systems of two universities. The study adopted a qualitative case study approach, conducting in-depth qualitative interviews with key university personnel as well as examined the current systems that are in place in the respective institutions.
