The informal resolution and formal complaint procedures set forth below are internal administrative procedures of the University. These procedures are available to any member of the University community who believes that he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, veteran's status or sexual orientation. Individuals wishing to utilize this procedure should contact the Equal Opportunity (EO) Office or, when the accused individual is a student, the Dean of Students. As to those forms of discrimination that also violate state or federal law, an aggrieved party may also file a complaint with the appropriate local, state, or federal agency or in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. These informal resolution and formal complaint procedures are supplemental to, and are not intended to displace, other disciplinary procedures set forth in the University’s Handbook or the Rules and Regulations of the U.T. System Board of Regents.
