COMMUNICATING COMPLAINTS TO THE COLLEGE
Students may at times deem themselves to have been treated by peers
inappropriately, or by representatives of the College in a manner that falls
outside of appropriate and reasonable standards of fairness, integrity, or
appropriate execution of duties, particularly regarding the implementation of
College policies, processes, and procedures. When such circumstances occur,
students are encouraged to address the matter directly with the individual(s)
who gave rise to the concern through personal or electronic contact, when
appropriate. Students may wish to consult with the counselors in Counseling
and Health Services, other professionals in the Office of Student Development,
or faculty advisors for guidance before addressing the issue.
If direct contact is not appropriate or does not lead to a timely resolution of the
concern, students are encouraged to seek resolution by contacting appropriate
officials of the College. For concerns related to academic issues or academic-
related employees of the College, students should contact the Assistant Provost
in the Provost’s Office in Munger Hall 210. For all other concerns, students
should contact the Dean of Students in the Office of Student Development in
the Norton Campus Center, 2nd floor. These officials will meet with students
as soon as is reasonably possible, and will assist them in working with other
College officials as appropriate or may request students to submit a written
statement to initiate a formal complaint. Students can also submit a complaint
