REGISTERING COMPLAINTS AGAINST
UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE
Grievance Procedures
If any student feels the need to file a grievance against a university employee he or
she must report such incident to the dean of students. Every effort will be made to protect the
privacy of any parties involved. After an informal discussion, if the student wishes to file a
formal grievance, he/she may submit same in writing to the dean of students. However, before
filing a formal charge, the complaining party must first make a good faith effort to meet and
confer with the party against whom he or she has a complaint in an effort to resolve the matter.
Upon receipt of a written formal complaint by a student, the dean of students shall
refer the complaint for investigation to the office of the vice president of the appropriate
division.
The above recipients of such complaints will investigate and determine whether the
grievance has merit as alleged.
If it is determined that such grievance has appropriate support, the persons or
departments that are responsible for such violation will be dealt with in an appropriate manner
by the supervisors or directors of such persons or programs, in accordance with applicable
provisions, if any, of contracts, employment regulations, faculty manuals, or the like.
Remedies
After investigation, if the allegation grievance is deemed justified by the
investigating officer, said officer will take whatever steps he or she believes are appropriate to
correct any grievance suffered by the complaining student.
Review by the President
The president of Barry University shall review any determinations and/or actions
taken hereunder and shall have the power to reverse or amend any decisions of the
investigating officer provided such action is taken by the president within 90 days of the said
determination. The president’s determination shall be final and binding on Barry University
and the student. Failure of the president to amend or reverse decisions within 90 days as
aforestated shall constitute approval of the investigating officer’s decision.
Use of Outside Remedies

are in the progress as provided in the general policy, a grievant seeks resolution of his/her
grievance in any other forum, be it administrative or judicial, the University shall have the
