A grievance may be any kind of discontent or dissatisfaction or negative perception, whether expressed or not, arising out of anything connected with University that a student or staff thinks, or even feels, is unfair, unjust or inequitable. Any grievance /complaint relating to sexual harassment will not be covered under these rules as there is a separate mechanism for addressing such matters by CASH (Committee Against Sexual Harassment). Please note: While this platform allows all staff members to voice their concerns in an open manner it is imperative that the complainant exercises due diligence and care in deciding what he/she would qualify as a grievance that is serious enough to deserve the attention of this committee comprising of senior administrators and faculty of the university.
