Reconsideration Form
Information on how to submit a Reconsideration Form will be provided to the Reporting Party upon dismissal of a complaint. This information will be provided by the Equal Opportunity and Title IX Compliance Office.
Pursuant to Policy 156, Section 6.1, “If the complaint is dismissed, the Reporting Party may submit a request for reconsideration of the complaint within three business days of receipt of the preliminary evaluation determination. The Reporting Party may submit additional documentation or information that supplements the original complaint. This may include, but is not limited to, additional evidence or names of witnesses. Complaints resubmitted with no additional information will not be reviewed for reconsideration.”
Appeal Form
