Grievance Procedures

The School of Education strongly supports a range of efforts at mediating grievances before they are channeled formally.

SOE has a standing Grievance Committee which has membership from among the faculty, administrative, undergraduate and graduate student constituencies. This committee acts as a hearing board for student-initiated grievances involving SOE faculty, administrators or students. This committee meets on a grievance or complaint only after attempts to remedy the grievance have been undertaken first with the party who is the subject of the grievance, and then, if necessary, with the student's faculty adviser who will attempt to mediate the situation.

If the student has consulted with the party and the faculty adviser and has been unable to obtain consideration of and/or an acceptable remedy to the grievance, the student may next request in writing that the Grievance Committee be convened.
