Dispute Resolution for
Students with Disabilities
Burlington County College has developed an
administrative procedure to assist students with
disabilities in resolving any dispute in which
the college or any of its agents or employees
allegedly act in violation of Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 USCA, 794. This
statute, commonly known as ‘‘the handicapped
access law,’’ prohibits discrimination against
otherwise qualified handicapped persons.
There are four specific steps to follow in
this procedure. Students should proceed as
follows:
1. Within five College work days of the
alleged incident, the person should attempt
to resolve the problem personally with the
College employee involved.
2. If the person is unable to reach a satisfactory
resolution of the complaint in step 1.
above, the person should, within five
working days of the meeting with the
College employee, make a written request
for a meeting with the employee’s
immediate supervisor. This meeting with the
supervisor is to take place within 10 College
10 Burlington County College
work days from receipt of the request. The
immediate supervisor will hear the person
and collect data as needed from the
employee and other College personnel and
render a decision on the matter. The
supervisor will communicate this decision in
writing to the person and employee within
five work days after the meeting.
3. If the person is unable to reach a satisfactory
resolution of the complaint in step 2.
above, the person should, within five work
days of receipt of the written decision
following the meeting with the College
employee’s supervisor, make a written
request for a meeting with the Vice
President in whose area of supervision the
matter has occurred. This meeting is to take
place within 10 College work days from
receipt of the request. The appropriate Vice
President will review the facts presented by
the person and collect data from other
personnel as needed. The Vice President will
render a decision on the matter and
communicate this decision in writing to the
person, the employee against whom the
person has made the complaint, and the
employee’s immediate supervisor within five
work days after the meeting.
4. Any person may appeal the decision of
the Vice President directly to the President of
the College. The notice of appeal must be
received at the Office of the President within
five College working days of the date of the
Vice President’s decision. The President,
within 10 College work days of receiving the
notice of appeal, shall either confirm,
reverse, or modify the decision of the Vice
President. The President’s written decision
shall include his/her reasons for arriving at
said decision. Said decision shall be final.
The steps are outlined in Administrative
Procedure 904A, pub lished in the Student
Handbook/Calendar. Copies of this procedure
are also available from Mr. Dennis Haggerty,
Title IX and Section 504 Coordinator,
located in the Office of Human Resources in
the Parker Center on the Pemberton campus
or by calling him at (609) 894-9311,
ext. 1399.
In the event that litigation is brought against
the college or any of its agents or employees
alleging any statement of facts constituting a
violation of Section 504, the college will move
to dismiss such litigation in all cases where the
plaintiff has failed to utilize this student dispute
resolution procedure.
