Procedures for Resolving Student Allegations of Discrimination

Student complaints that discrimination has occurred will be reviewed as follows:

Informal Procedures

Students who believe that academic discrimination has occurred should discuss the matter with their advisor, or if their advisor is the object of the complaint, with the Seminary Dean.

Students who believe that discrimination of a non-academic nature has occurred should discuss the matter with a dean in the Office of Student Affairs or the Seminary Dean.

It may be that discussion at this level, supplemented by the gathering of appropriate information, will result in resolution of the matter to the students' satisfaction.

Formal Procedures

If the matter is not resolved within a reasonable period of time to the satisfaction of the student, formal procedures may be instituted.

Cases of an academic nature should be submitted with documentation to the associate dean for academic affairs for resolution by the Academic Standards Committee or to the Seminary Dean for resolution by the Admissions and Standing Committee.

Cases of a non-academic nature should be submitted to the vice president for student affairs or the Seminary Dean for resolution by one of the College adjudication forums, such as the Discipline Review Committee or a Seminary Grievance Panel.
