grievancy report form

Students enrolled in or taking courses at Atlanta University of Health Science (AUHS) are expected to demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity and to conduct themselves as professionals. Similarly, students should expect faculty and staff members to be persons of integrity who apply the principles of honesty, fairness, respect, and trust that characterize the professional/academic community. Thus, when student grievances concerning faculty and staff members arise, they are taken very seriously and are treated with sensitivity and urgency. The AUHS Complaint Officer is responsible for managing this policy.

These procedures are to provide a framework and mechanism for an objective review of student grievances about the equity and fairness of AUHS faculty, staff, or procedures that affect their academic standing and progress toward their degree. Such issues may arise regarding fair and equal treatment in the conduct of a class or in the grading or evaluation of academic work or research. Other issues may concern the equity and fairness of program, department, or AUHS policies. Other university policies and procedures apply to allegations of faculty and staff misconduct; such matters will be governed by appropriate policies administered under other university units: Complaints that a member of the faculty or staff has engaged in research misconduct, violated the university’s nondiscrimination and harassment policies, or violated employment contracts will be investigated by the President.
