PROTOCOL FOR STUDENT COMPLAINTS<br />
CONCERNING THE ACTIONS OF FACULTY<br />
MEMBERS<br />
Members of the <strong>Adelphi</strong> faculty are expected <strong>to</strong> meet the highest standards of the academy<br />
in all aspects of their professional conduct. These standards derive from many sources,<br />
including institutional policies, the rights and reasonable requirements of students, contractual<br />
agreements, the law, and expectations of integrity. <strong>Adelphi</strong> <strong>University</strong> is responsible for fully<br />
and fairly addressing complaints concerning conduct by faculty while acting in the context of<br />
affiliation with the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
I. Issues dealing with harassment should be dealt with under the <strong>University</strong>’s anti-harassment<br />
policy, which can be found online at administration.adelphi.edu/hr/policies/harassment.php<br />
(and on page 109). An online reporting form is available at administration.adelphi.edu/hr/<br />
harassmentreport.php.<br />
II. Issues related <strong>to</strong> grades follow the procedures set forth in the Undergraduate and Graduate<br />
Bulletin, found online at ecampus.adelphi.edu/registrar/grades.php and included below.<br />
Grades are submitted only by the instruc<strong>to</strong>r of the course. Any change of grade must be<br />
approved by that instruc<strong>to</strong>r. A grade may be changed only if there is unequivocal evidence that<br />
it was the result of computational or mechanical error. <strong>Student</strong>s who believe their grades are<br />
incorrect or unfair should:<br />
• Discuss their course work with the instruc<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
• Review with the course instruc<strong>to</strong>r the grading policies for the course.
