Washington Administrative Code › Title 132B - Grays Harbor College › Chapter 132B-125 - Student conduct code › Part 5 - STUDENT COMPLAINT, GRIEVANCE, AND GRADE APPEAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES › Section 132B-125-500 - Student complaint, grievance, and grade appeal policy and procedures

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The purpose of these procedures is to provide guidelines,
				  which enable a student to express and resolve misunderstandings, complaints, or
				  grievances in a fair and equitable manner. Students have the right to receive
				  clear information and fair application of college policies, standards, rules
				  and requirements and are responsible for complying with them in their
				  relationships with college personnel. This grievance procedure emphasizes an
				  informal resolution, which promotes constructive dialogue and
				  understanding.
(1)
Complaint
				process.
(a)  A complaint is any
				expression of dissatisfaction with the performance of a college employee or
				with the implementation of policy and procedure. The goal is to informally
				resolve the complaint with the employee most closely responsible for the
				policy, procedure or action. The college employee and student shall make a good
				faith effort to resolve the issue on a one-to-one basis. (If the complaint is
				about a grade, follow the grade appeal process below.) Both parties should
				openly discuss the concern, attempt to understand the other's perspective,
				explore alternatives and attempt to arrive at a satisfactory
				resolution.
(b)  The college
				recognizes that in some cases a student will be unwilling or unable to speak
				directly with the employee. In such cases, the student may proceed to step one
				of the grievance process. In general, a student wishing to express a complaint
				should do so no later than three weeks from the time the student became aware
				of the concern.
(c)  For assistance
				in identifying the appropriate person a student should contact, the office of
				the vice president for student services is available to assist in that
				determination.
(d)  The following
				are guidelines for determining who a student should contact with a complaint
				regarding:
(i)
Academic/instruction:
Faculty/dean/vice president
				instruction;
(ii)
Accommodations:
Coordinator of disability support services/dean of
				student access and support;

In accordance with the provisions of sections 32 through 45,
				chapter 283, Laws of 1969 ex. sess., as amended by chapter 5, Laws of 1970 ex.
				sess., the following procedures for tenure at Community College District No. 2
				will be implemented as of January 29, 1973. These procedures supersede the
				previously adopted tenure regulations, Grays Harbor College. Granting of tenure
				should be the rule, not the exception; if denial of tenure becomes the rule,
				the hiring practices of the college shall be reevaluated.
Tenure policy statement.
The only difference
				between a nontenured and a tenured faculty member is that the latter is
				evaluated periodically for the purpose of improving services and instruction
				and the former is evaluated regularly for the additional purpose of granting
				tenure. The dean of instruction shall hold an election and select a tenure
				review committee which will interview and evaluate the probationer and will
				make recommendations to the board of trustees regarding the professional
				qualifications of the nontenured faculty member.
It shall be the policy of Community College District No. 2 that
				the board of trustees, on the recommendation of the tenure review committee
				which has interviewed and evaluated the probationer, may grant tenure at any
				time between the assumption of his faculty position and the end of the three
				year probationary period, except that compelling reasons must be shown for the
				award of tenure prior to the third year of probation.

				well. Cases involving a student as the accused will be referred to the
				vice-president for student services for disposition under the student conduct

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
In determining whether the alleged conduct constitutes
				harassment, the investigator will consider the record as a whole and all
				relevant circumstances. The investigator will make a complete investigation in
				a timely manner. Upon concluding the investigation, the investigator will
				submit a written summary of the investigative files and a recommendation for
				appropriate resolution of the complaint to the president.
Within five working days after reviewing the investigator's
				report, the president will make a determination and will advise the accused and
				the complainant of the decision, which may include, but is not limited to, the
				following:
(1) If there appears to be
			 a sufficient foundation for the allegation, the options may include a verbal
			 and/or written reprimand, demotion, suspension or referral to the Grays Harbor
			 College dismissal review committee or the Washington state department of
			 personnel in cases of recommended dismissal. A summary of all action taken to
			 resolve the complaint will be entered into the accused's personnel file or the
			 employment/volunteer application file.
(2) If there appears to be an inadequate
			 foundation for the complaint, no record of the allegation will be made in the
			 personnel records or the employee/volunteer application files of either the
			 accused or the complainant. Malicious or dishonest allegations may justify
			 disciplinary action against the complainant.
Appeals by faculty members will be referred to the board of
				trustees. Appeals by classified personnel will be heard by a hearing officer of
				the personnel appeals board.
A summary of all harassment investigations will be retained in
				the equity resource director's files.
