The District provides a prompt and equitable means of resolving student grievances and complaints. A grievance is an alleged wrongful act by a 91̀½»¨ staff or faculty member that has an adverse effect on a student’s academic or personal status rights or privileges as a student at 91̀½»¨. Students are protected against capricious, arbitrary, unreasonable, unlawful, false, malicious, or professionally inappropriate evaluations or behavior by a faculty member, a staff member, an administrator or an official of the College, or another student. Student complaints may be classified as grievances and fall into one of two categories: Academic or Non-Academic. Issues that are not resolved at the campus level may be presented to the State Chancellor’s Office using their complaint process. Students are encouraged to follow the 91̀½»¨ Grievance process before attempting to file a complaint with the State Chancellor’s Office.
