Graduate Student Grievance Procedures:College of EducationI. INTRODUCTIONPetitions, Appeals, and Other ActionsAll members of the University community are expected to observe highstandards of professional conduct and ethical behavior in graduateeducation and in the supervision of graduate research and teaching(Guiding Standards for Faculty Supervision of Graduate Students, March 31,1997). In a large and heterogeneous scholarly community however,problems arise. Thus the University articulates its policies and provideseffective informal and formal procedures for resolving these problemsinvolving graduate students. (The policies and procedures described inthis document do not override or supersede any other policies asestablished in the University statutes and campus policies. For moreinformation, see the College of Education Graduate Programs Handbookand the Handbook for Students and Advisers.)The purpose of this policy is to protect the interests of graduate studentsin the College of Education by providing informal and formal means ofseeking resolution in case of an inappropriate action of a member of thefaculty or administrative staff or an inappropriate application of adepartment or college policy. Any graduate student in the College ofEducation may informally pursue or formally file a grievance when s/hebelieves that a decision or behavior adversely affects his/her status as agraduate student.This Policy and Procedures on Grievances by Graduate Students in the Collegeof Education specifies the policy and describes the procedures to beemployed to resolve grievances by graduate students in this College. Itwas approved by the Graduate College on May 19, 2000. This policydoes not apply in cases of academic misconduct. Breaches of academicintegrity in research and publication are handled under the campus’sPolicy and Procedures on Academic Integrity in Research and Publication.Similarly, this policy does not apply to cases that arise under the Code ofPolicies and Regulations Applying to All Students (“CODE”), such ascapricious grading in a course (Section 26) or academic integrity (Section33).65

INFORMAL PROCEDURESUniversity policy strongly encourages all students who believe they havea grievance to use all appropriate avenues for informal resolution beforeinitiating a formal grievance.
