Informal Review. a. Prior to filing a formal complaint, the complainant shall attempt informally to resolve the complaint with the immediate supervisor or responsible administrator whose action is being grieved. If the complaint cannot be resolved through informal discussion, the complainant may pursue the formal review process. Attempts at informal resolution do not extend the time limits for filing a formal complaint unless a written exception is granted by the complaint resolution liaison. b. When a complaint alleges sexual harassment, the complainant may elect to substitute the campus Sexual Harassment Complaint Resolution Procedure for Step I of this Policy. If the sexual harassment procedure is substituted and the complaint filed within the timeframe provided by that procedure, the final date for filing a formal complaint shall be fifteen (15) calendar days from the date a decision is issued under the pre-grievance complaint resolution process of the sexual harassment procedure.
