FORMAL PROCESS FOR STUDENT COMPLAINTS
Anderson University values student feedback that can help the institution determine effectiveness and clarify and improve processes, policies, and procedures. In recognition that, on occasion, events arise in which students have complaints that fall outside of other institutional policies developed to address student concerns the university has a process whereby students may submit a formal written complaint.
If a student wishes to lodge a more formal complaint this must be done so in writing using the following complaint form. Submission of this form goes to the executive assistant to the president, who determines who will respond and address the written complaint. The designated person will be notified and will respond within five business days of receipt of the complaint with the response copied to the executive assistant to the president.
If an issue cannot be resolved by the university’s internal processes students may file a formal complaint with the Indiana Commission for Higher Education at https://www.in.gov/che/2744.htm.
The Formal Process for Student Complaints is not for a routine decision (e.g. grade change, requirement waiver, etc.) or for an appeal or a grievance for which a defined process already exists (e.g. grade appeal, academic integrity, Title IX/sexual misconduct, racial harassment, etc.).
TRACKING FORMAL COMPLAINT INFORMATION
All formal written complaints meeting the relevant criteria and deemed of sufficient substance will be tracked by the Office of the President. The database tracking system includes the following elements:
- Date complaint received
- Student(s) identified with complaint
- Nature of complaint
- Office assigned to address the complaint
- Steps taken to resolve complaint
- Institution’s final decision
- External actions by complainant (e.g., lawsuit, EEOC, OCR, etc.)
STUDENT COMPLAINT FORM
A formal complaint must be submitted in writing to the [assistant to the president] within sixty (60) days of the event that triggered the complaint. Written complaints must be submitted on the Formal Student Complaint Form here.
