How do I begin the grievance process?
Before beginning a fromal Board of Review, the first course of action would be to work with a member of the Faculty Grievance Advisory Panel to see if a resolution can be accomplished. Contact Simon Atkinson (President of the Faculty) at satkinso@iupui.edu or Karen Lee at klee2@iupui.edu to be matched with a faculty member who can help.

How do I begin a Faculty Board of Review?
If you have found there is no administrative remedy through the grievance process, you may request a Faculty Board of Review. A letter or email should be sent to Simon Atkinson or Karen Lee outlining your reason(s) for requesting the review as well as supporting documentation.
