Procedures for Faculty

If the respondent is a tenured member of the NLU faculty and the Investigative Body established in the National Louis University Policy for Termination of Tenured Faculty for Cause, FP 115, determines there is not sufficient evidence to refer the Complaint for investigation by the Investigative Panel, the complainant may file an appeal to the Investigative Panel by submitting the appeal in writing to the Vice President for Human Resources or designee. Upon receiving the appeal, the Investigative Panel will review the appeal and the record submitted by the Investigative Body and determine whether further investigation is warranted. The Investigative Panel will notify the complainant and the respondent of its final determination, including the results of any investigation it conducts regarding the complaint.
