UT Dallas Grievance Procedures for Sexual Harassment
Once a complaint has been filed, the University has two levels of investigative and resolution proceedings, informal and formal. If after informal proceedings, the complainant and/or the person accused of sexual harassment cannot find an acceptable resolution, formal proceedings may be initiated.
Informal proceedings are generally handled by the alleged offender's principal administrator, in consultation with the University's designated Responsible University Official (RUO) for Sexual Harassment matters, currently the Director of Personnel.
In cases in which both the complainant and the accused are students, the RUO will refer complaints to the Vice President for Administration and Student Affairs, or designee.
Formal proceedings will be initiated upon the submission to the RUO of a signed statement from the complainant. All such complaints will be investigated by the RUO or designee in cooperation with the appropriate line of administration.
Details of these grievance procedures may be obtained from the Personnel Office or any other administrative office. The University Policy on Sexual Harassment is included in the Faculty Handbook, the University's Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual, Volume IIA, Section D, and in Title V: Rules on Student Services and Activities, of the University's Handbook of Operating Procedures.
