Provision 4: Complaint Resolution Process

The process for resolving a complaint of a policy violation at UC Irvine is typically outlined in the policy governing the specific type of alleged violation. For instance, the anti-discrimination policy and related procedures detail how such complaints are handled.

Suspected criminal activity on campus is reported to the relevant law enforcement agency.

UC Irvine’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity (OEOD) addresses all student and employee concerns related to discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence.

Students

The Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct (OAISC) manages concerns related to academic misconduct and behavioral issues. OAISC also offers guidance on academic grievances and disputes.

Faculty

The Office of Academic Personnel oversees disciplinary actions for academic senate faculty and provides support for resolving workplace concerns, including disputes over academic conduct, evaluations, and faculty rights.

Staff

Workforce Relations administers staff grievances and complaints, offering guidance to supervisors and managers, and issuing final responses on behalf of the university. They also represent the university in arbitration and Unfair Labor Practices (ULP) charges.

Represented staff should refer to their collective bargaining agreement for grievance processes, while non-represented staff in Professional & Support Staff (PSS) and Managers & Senior Professionals (MSP) positions should consult Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM)-70: Complaint Resolution.

Questions and complaints may be submitted to:

Non-Affiliates

Violations of campus policies may result in partial or total exclusion from campus facilities. If campus policy does not specify due process for non-affiliated individuals, the campus provides written notice and an opportunity to respond in writing before imposing any consequences.
