A staff member is entitled to initiate a grievance without fear of retaliation on matters directly associated with the staff member's employment relationship with the University. If they feel they have experienced discrimination based on race, sex (including sexual harassment and sexual orientation), religion, national origin, age, marital status, handicap or Vietnam-era veteran status, the matter may be referred to the Office of Institutional Equity and Title IX (ECRT) for appropriate follow up. If a staff member has a question, problem, or complaint arising from working relationships, conditions, policies or procedures that cannot be resolved informally, the staff member may consult the Human Resources Office. Pre-grievance counseling is available.

Further information may be obtained from Standard Practice Guide Section 201.08 and collective bargaining agreements.
