Filing a Grievance
Note to students: The University Senate grievance process and grievance committees are intended for faculty and Academic Professionals; students seeking assistance should contact the Dean’s office or Educational Outreach and Student Services (EOSS) at ASU.
To Faculty and Academic Professionals- to officially submit a grievance, please email Maria Coca ([email protected]) the initial GSR forms with the subject line "Initial Grievance Submittal".
Note to Grievant and Respondents: Timely submission of all documents—including the GSR, the Respondent’s response to the GSR, and supporting evidence from each party—is important to facilitate the efficient processing of a grievance.
Please submit all reasonably available evidence at the time the GSR or the Respondent’s response is submitted, as applicable. However, please keep in mind that as the grievance process proceeds, both parties may supplement their positions by providing additional relevant factual information and evidence
The grievance service request guide should be reviewed, before developing and submitting the information requested in the Grievance Service Request (GSR) form.
Important note, per ACD policy, All grievances must be submitted to either a member of the Ombudsperson Committee or the Clearinghouse Committee within 30 days* of the occurrence of the action that forms the basis of the complaint.
