Grievance Process

The grievance must be brought to the attention of the appropriate individuals within the timelines specified in these procedures or the grievance will not be considered. Informal discussions between the parties at all levels of the University should occur in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute.

If the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved through informal means, the following points are important. The Grievant submits the written complaint to the Dean of Students, within the timelines described in these procedures, for consideration and further action, stating the nature of the grievance, the steps that have been taken, and the resolution expected. A Grievance Committee hearing will be convened to determine whether the issue qualifies as a grievance as defined by this policy and, if so, to hear the grievance and make a recommendation on the action, if any, to be taken.
