Non-Academic Appeal Policy

A student may seek recourse from any university non-academic program or employment-related dispute or alleged discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, color, sex, disability, or age, including alleged violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments Acts of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or other state or federal legislation.

A student who wishes to file such an appeal must first contact the person or department concerned to resolve the dispute informally. Such contact must occur within 30 days of the incident that generates the dispute.

All non-academic grievance and appeals will be reported to the human resource department. Since the appeal process is a private university administrative process, legal counsel or representation is not appropriate.

The complainant will be notified of results throughout the process.
