Institutional Discrimination Complaint Procedures
The Massachusetts State Universities have established specific internal Discrimination Complaint Procedures to help resolve claims and complaints of discrimination, including disability discrimination, on the campus. These procedures will serve as a system of review and resolution for both informal claims and formal complaints of discrimination. Any member of the University community and/or any applicant for employment who believes they have been a victim of discrimination, discriminatory harassment or retaliation may initiate an informal claim or formal complaint as outlined in the Discrimination Complaint Procedures.
Hard copies of the Discrimination Complaint Procedures are available in the Human Resources and Affirmative Action Office. The Discrimination Complaint Procedures are also available on the Human Resources website.
