Faculty Complaints

Faculty have the right to fair and equal treatment by administrators and to expect professional behavior from other faculty and students. Professional behavior includes such matters as a respect for expertise, individual beliefs, and personal privacy. Faculty who have complaints about administrators or other faculty should first discuss their complaints with the person concerned, if possible. If the complaint cannot be resolved in this way, faculty should discuss the complaint with the CS Graduate Director, or the CS Department Chair or if that is not possible or resolution cannot be attained, they should contact the ombudsperson. Faculty who have complaints about graduate students should first discuss their complaints with the person concerned, if possible. If the complaint cannot be resolved in this way, they should discuss the complaint with the Director of Admissions and Early Advising, who will discuss the complaint with the student, attempt to resolve the problem, and report to the CS Graduate Director. If resolution is not possible at this level, the complaint will be referred to the CS Department Chair. Faculty members should be aware that the campus provides an ombudsperson, whose duties are described in the ``Handbook for Academic Faculty''; one of the functions of the ombudsperson is to investigate faculty complaints.
