Grievances and Solving Problems
Resolution of grievances about academic problems or complaints about faculty, such as violations of university requirements, incompetence and misconduct, begin first with speaking with the faculty member or instructor. If the difficulty is not resolved, the student may make an appointment with the department chair. If satisfactory resolution does not occur after this meeting, the student may take the grievance to the Dean of the College of Human Ecology, and if necessary, the Provost.
Information regarding more specific procedures for handling grievances can be obtained from the Office of Student Life, 208 Ohio Union (Faculty Rule 3335-7-23).
Grievances against graduate teaching and research associates should be submitted first to the supervising instructor, then to the chairperson of the associate’s department. Grievances involving discrimination or harassment (racial, sexual orientation, gender, etc.) should be referred to the Office of Employee Relations, 433 Archer House, 2130 Neil Avenue. A copy of the University’s Discrimination/Discriminatory harassment Policy is available from this office.
Notice of Opportunity to File Complaints with the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education
The Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education will review complaints that relate to a program’s compliance with the accreditation standards. CADE is interested in the sustained quality and continued improvement of dietetics education programs but does not intervene on behalf of individuals or act as a court of appeal for individuals in matters of admission, appointment, promotion or dismissal of faculty, staff, or student.
A copy of the accreditation/approval standards and/or CADE’s policy and procedure for submission of complaints may be obtained by contacting the Education and Accreditation Team at The American Dietetic Association at 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995 or by calling 1-800-877-1600 ext. 5400.
