III.M   Review Procedure for Complaints about Issues Other than Reappointment or Promotion

If a member of the teaching or research faculty believes that he or she has suffered as a result of a breach of University policy (e.g., discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, national or ethnic origin, veteran status, or gender identity or expression) in a matter not involving reappointment or promotion and seeks a review of the matter, he or she may request a review in accordance with the procedure set forth in L.3 above. [4] If the complaint is submitted to a committee for review, the Provost, at his or her discretion, may submit the complaint either to the Review Committee composed as described in L.3b above or to an ad hoc panel of no fewer than three members appointed by the Provost. A decision of the Provost regarding a complaint brought under this section shall be final.

[4] These procedures are available to all members of the faculty, with the exception of the voluntary clinical faculty of the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing.
