The Graduate Employee Union (GEU) and the University share a commitment to an inclusive campus community free of any form of discrimination or harassment. Our union contract with the University ensures that GAs have the option of pursuing various avenues of recourse in instances of discrimination or harassment. A GA may pursue a complaint through any and all of the following procedures:
The Union can advocate on your behalf. The OICR’s role is investigatory and does not represent the Complainant or the Respondent. If you have experienced discrimination and/or harassment, we encourage you to seek help from the Union. If you so desire, a Union representative will work with you as your advocate. Whether you are going through our grievance process, state/federal processes, or the OICR process, a union representative can provide experience, support, and help you navigate systems that otherwise can seem complex and confusing.
- The Grievance Procedure in the contract between our Union and the University
- The procedures administered by the University and its Office for Inclusion and Civil Rights (“OICR”)
- State and federal offices that handle complaints about discrimination
