Complaint Policy
This policy is intended to provide fair and prompt consideration to all staff complaints. The University encourages all staff to use the complaint procedure without fear of prejudice or retaliation within the limits of the preview process and with the assurance that his/her confidences will be respected. You may also print a copy of the 
Complaint Policy for your records.
Complaint Defined
A compliant is an issue brought forth by a staff member concerning the workplace which may include, but is not limited to, working conditions, performance, policies, procedures, or problems with co-workers or supervisors.
A complaint is not an issue that is a “grievance” as in the Grievance Policy section. Also, the Complaint Procedure is not a vehicle to alter University, School or College, or local unit policy.
Complaint Policy
It is the policy of the University to provide an effective and timely method for staff to bring forth workplace issues and concerns. These issues and concerns may include working conditions, performance, policies, procedures, or problems with co-workers or supervisors. This complaint policy does not apply to complaints about employment actions based on internal and external department and/or University reorganization, financial necessity or budget determinations, and termination from employment.
Complaints about harassment as defined by the University’s policies on Prohibited Discrimination and Sexual and other Unlawful Harassment will be investigated and resolved according to that policy, not this one.
