Faculty or students who have concerns or complaints about the behavior of other faculty or students in professional situations (other than questions of plagiarism) or about interpersonal relationships between faculty and students (other than those related to sexual discrimination or sexual harassment) should voice those concerns or complaints through the grievance procedures described below. These procedures are designed to protect the rights and privacy of both faculty and students and to equitably adjudicate conflicts among faculty and students.2
Faculty and students should avoid as much as possible discussing their complaints with their colleagues. Questions of plagiarism should be handled in concert with the Dean of Students. Faculty or students who feel they have been subjected to discrimination based on sex or sexual harassment, suspect an unfounded discrimination complaint may be filed against them, or have been threatened with the filing of such a complaint should notify the Affirmative Action Officer as soon as possible.
