Page 25 of 91 4. If the grievance remains unresolved after meeting with the department chair, then within five University business days of the meeting with the chair, both the student and the faculty member will meet with either the dean of the respective college (or academic administrator to whom the chair reports). 5. If the complaint remains unresolved after that meeting, it will then be heard within five University business days by an ad hoc committee consisting of the faculty member’s department chair, the director of SCCE (or their designee), and a faculty member or administrator selected by the student. The chair of the committee will be the director of SCCE (or their designee). After hearing from the student and the faculty member, and considering any documentation has been provided, the ad hoc committee will make its recommendation in writing to the Provost. This will occur within five University business days after the committee concludes its deliberations. 6. Within five University business days after receiving the ad hoc committee’s deliberation, the Provost will notify in writing both parties of the final decision to resolve the grievance within five University business days of receiving the ad hoc committee’s deliberation. 7. Deadlines for each aforementioned step in the process may be revised should extenuating circumstances justify doing so. ARTICLE 5. HONOR PLEDGE On my honor, as a member of the TAMIU community, I pledge to uphold the values of respect, integrity, service and excellence throughout my academic and professional career. ARTICLE 6. THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND STANDARDS Students are members of the University community and assume full responsibility for proper conduct until their separation from the institution. Misconduct at the University is not acceptable. All students at the University have a responsibility to ensure the honesty of others through their own individual actions and deeds. Conduct standards at the University are set forth in writing in order to give students general notice of prohibited behavior. These prohibited behaviors should be read broadly and are not designed to define prohibited conduct in exhaustive terms.
