Table 2: Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics Grievance Types Handled by the College Grievance Committee
Each school, department or program may have informal or formal procedures to be followed before initiating a grievance at the college level (See Appendix A). Each department or school has a chair or director who should be consulted before proceeding to the next source of adjudication.
