INTRODUCTIONPetitions, Appeals, and Other ActionsAll members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> community are expected to observe highstandards <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional conduct and ethical behavior in gradu<strong>at</strong>eeduc<strong>at</strong>ion and in the supervision <strong>of</strong> gradu<strong>at</strong>e research and teaching(Guiding Standards for Faculty Supervision <strong>of</strong> Gradu<strong>at</strong>e Students, March 31,1997). In a large and heterogeneous scholarly community however,problems arise. Thus the <strong>University</strong> articul<strong>at</strong>es its policies and provideseffective informal and formal procedures for resolving these problemsinvolving gradu<strong>at</strong>e students. (The policies and procedures described inthis document do not override or supersede any other policies asestablished in the <strong>University</strong> st<strong>at</strong>utes and campus policies.

Any gradu<strong>at</strong>e student in the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Educ<strong>at</strong>ion</strong> may informally pursue or formally file a grievance when s/hebelieves th<strong>at</strong> a decision or behavior adversely affects his/her st<strong>at</strong>us as agradu<strong>at</strong>e student.This Policy and Procedures on Grievances by Gradu<strong>at</strong>e Students in the <strong>College</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Educ<strong>at</strong>ion</strong> specifies the policy and describes the procedures to beemployed to resolve grievances by gradu<strong>at</strong>e students in this <strong>College</strong>.
