Discrimination Complaints

Any student who believes that he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability by the institution or its personnel may informally discuss the complaint with the Associate Vice President of Student Services with the objective of reaching a reasonable solution. The Associate Vice President of Student Services shall advise the student of his or her options in the situation and notify the Associate Vice President of Human Resources or designee.

If the aggrieved student believes the complaint has not been resolved at the informal discussion, he or she may submit a written complaint stating his or her name, the nature and date of the alleged violation, names of persons responsible (where known), names of any witnesses, and requested action within 30 working days of the date of the informal discussion, to the V Associate Vice President of Student Services. The Associate Vice President of Student Services shall ensure that the aggrieved student’s rights to appropriate due process procedures are honored. If a hearing is held, the Associate Vice President of Student Services shall conduct the hearing. If the final decision is not to the student’s satisfaction, he or she may appeal the decision to the Associate Vice President of Student Services within ten working days of the receipt of the written decision.
