Conflict Resolution

The University strives to resolve conflict at the lowest level possible. When a question arises about the denial or appropriateness of an accommodation, it is the responsibility of the faculty members and students with disabilities to first consult with the Assistant Director in a timely manner. The Assistant Director will work with the faculty and the students to resolve accommodation disagreements. Faculty members who question the legitimacy of an SSD recommended accommodation should continue to afford the accommodation to the student while the appeals procedures are implemented.

If the dispute over accommodation cannot be resolved at that level, a complaint may be filed with the Student Affairs Committee.  Information regarding the filing of a grievance procedure can contact SSD or the office of Student Affairs.  In general, the formal complaint should be in writing, contain the name and address of the person filing, and briefly describe the alleged violation of the regulation.
