II. 适用范围及用途 of Grievance Procedure

Students who believe they have been subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability or have been denied access or accommodations required by law shall have the right to invoke this Grievance Procedure. In general, this Grievance Procedure is designed to address the following types of concerns:

1. Disagreements or denials regarding requested accommodations;
2. Alleged inaccessibility of a University program or activity;
3. Alleged 骚扰 or discrimination on the basis of a disability; and

Students utilizing the 非正式解决程序 must file their complaints within 30 days of the end of the semester in which the alleged violation occurred. 首先, all grievances shall be reviewed to determine whether they are submitted within a timely manner and/or whether they contain all required information. The University shall not review a grievance which is untimely or fails to contain all required information, 包括 a clear statement of all grounds for the grievance. To facilitate a clear and prompt resolution, 一旦启动, a grievance shall not be expanded beyond the issues presented in the student’s initial complaint.

V. 外部投诉选项

Those who believe they are victims of unlawful discrimination, 骚扰, 或报复, may also initiate outside legal action through private sources or the appropriate state or federal enforcement agencies. It is recommended that where time allows (before applicable statutes of limitations have run out) the internal grievance procedures of the University be used prior to using a grievance system outside the University.

The grievant may choose to file a complaint externally at any point before, 在, or after the internal University proceedings.
