In incidents where students feel that college employees have acted inappropriately
or unprofessionally, students have the right to file a complaint. In most cases, a conversation with the employee about the concerns is the quickest and simplest way to resolve a conflict. Complaint processes depend on who
the subject of the complaint is and the nature of the complaint. Complaints regarding teaching style or methods or grading practices are generally not viable complaints as faculty members are free to develop their courses largely as they determine best within the confines of college policy and the law. Discussions on those matters are best referred to department chairs.
