Level 3 Complaint Process
The student or one of the other involved parties may, with fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the level 2 recommendation, appeal to the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students in writing via email. Except in the case of a complaint against the President, where the Board of Trustees has final authority, appeals of the level 2 recommendation will be heard by the President. Absent extraordinary circumstances, a meeting will be held within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the level 2 recommendation. The President makes the final decision. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the President’s written decision is sent to the student and other parties within fifteen (15) business days of receiving the level 3 appeal. In cases of appeals to level 3, copies of the original complaint, the previous written recommendations, and the final decision are kept in the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students for a minimum of five years.
