There are four grievance procedures available to graduate students: the Graduate School Procedure for Student Complaints, the Provost’s Procedure for Student Complaints, the Grievance Procedure for Complaints of Sexual Harassment, and the President’s Procedure for Addressing Students’ Complaints of Racial or Ethnic Harassment. A student may use no more than one of these procedures for redress of any single complaint.
