The Director, HR Services administers the Human Rights Policy B3008. The first step is a confidential consultation – the Director, HR Services will review the matter and advise whether the matter falls within the Policy. If a complaint proceeds beyond the consultation, it must be in writing.
Under the Human Rights policy the Director, HR Services may provide mediation, or arrange for outside mediators or investigators. In all complaints the Director, HR Services acts as a neutral third party, not an advocate for either the complainant or the respondent. If a matter cannot be resolved between the parties and proceeds to investigation, a report may be made to the President. A complaint may be dismissed, or, if a violation of the policy is shown, disciplinary action may result.
