Complaint and Grievance Process Provisions

Time Periods

All effort will be made to make a determination in no more than 60 calendar days of filing a formal complaint/grievance. For purposes of calculating all time periods set forth in this Complaint and Grievance Policy, a business day is defined to mean normal operating hours, Monday through Friday, excluding recognized national and state holidays and SAU Tech closings.

Timelines may be modified in cases where information is not clear, judged to be incomplete, relevant parties are not available for interview, and/or other related circumstances as may arise. In the event that this step is necessary, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator or his or her respective deputies will notify the complainant who filed the grievance in writing within the set timeline.
