1.8.2 Initial Conflict Resolution Process
(Bylaws)
Persons with grievances should first seek to resolve their disagreements privately with the person(s) involved. In doing so, they may choose to consult with the ombudsman to help resolve the issue(s). If a grievance is not resolved in this manner within a reasonable time, persons with grievances should seek to resolve their disagreements by appealing to the appropriate supervisor, administrator, or committee by taking the steps as outlined in the table below. If any individual listed in these procedures is directly involved in the disagreement, the process proceeds to the next step.
