GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The University encourages informal resolution of problems through direct conversations, the assistance of administrators and the use of mediators as appropriate. Many of the University’s formal grievance procedures require an initial attempt at informal resolution before they may proceed. The University Faculty may bring grievances against other members of the University community through several different processes depending upon the classification (employee/student) of the individual against whom the grievance is made and the nature of the grievance.
- A grievance against a student is normally brought pursuant to the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities.
- A grievance against a regular staff member is normally brought by the employee’s supervisor in consultation with Human Resources through the Corrective Action and Termination Policy for Staff Employees.
- Policy for grievances arising out of violations of University policy
- A grievance arising out of a claim of discrimination or sexual harassment is generally brought pursuant to the Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Policy which applies to all the University community (Faculty, Staff, Students).
- If a discrimination complaint is raised in the context of another Faculty proceeding, however, the Consolidated Hearing Committee is the appropriate forum.
Faculty Grievances
A faculty member may assert an academic grievance (other than matters concerning retention, tenure, or promotion) through the Academic Freedom and Faculty Rights Committee after initial administrative review.
