GRIEVANCES & COMPLAINTS

POLICY:

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states, in part 5, “that no otherwise qualified disabled individual shall solely by reason of disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination in programs or activities by a public entity.”

PROCEDURE:

DRC COORDINATOR Student Services Building – DRC Center 435-652-7516 or via email, swatts@dixie.edu

If you have concerns about the services you are receiving, you can contact the DRC Coordinator.  Speaking with the coordinator is the first step in resolving conflicts or concerns. The Coordinator will listen to your concern and work with you to resolve the situation.  He/she will be the most knowledgeable about your case and can intervene with faculty or staff if there are problems with implementing your academic accommodations in the classroom. 

DEAN OF STUDENTS – DEL BEATTY 2ND FLOOR GARDNER CENTER 652-7514, or via email, dbeatty@dixie.edu

Del is available to hear concerns about services provided under ADA. Del can help clarify requirements under the law or review decisions made by the DRC. Del should also be contacted for issues about physical access to buildings and access to college functions and services.  Grievances about faculty, staff or other students should be made to Del.  Violations of the code of Conduct are also handled by Del’s office.  Del should also be contacted if you have concerns about the treatment you received from Student Services staff, as well.

Although you are encouraged to try to resolve grievances within the campus process, you also have a right to file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights at any time.
