This Board represents a formal mechanism whereby any person (faculty, staff, student) may obtain a review of a complaint by
an impartial group. This procedure shall not be used to question a rule, procedure or policy established by an authorized
faculty or administrative body. Rather it shall be used for a hearing and due process for those who believe that a rule,
procedure or policy has been applied in an unfair or inequitable manner or that there has been unfair or improper treatment by
a person or persons. An attempt shall be made to resolve the difficulties by referring the student or faculty member to the
departmental chairman or other administrative official, as appropriate. If unsuccessful at this point and deemed advisable by
the Dean, a Board will be convened composed of at least six faculty members drawn at random from the above panel. The
person appealing will be advised that he may bring to the hearing one student or faculty advocate, or legal counsel should he
so desire. The recommendations of the Board will be transmitted to the Dean for the final decision. Terms of 1, 2 or 3 years
each to 1/3 of the existing 23 members. All new members will serve 3 years going forward.
