The University’s efforts to resolve discrimination grievances begin at the informal stage, which:

1. provides an informal setting for the review of issues surrounding the grievance;

2. provides a forum for the free exchange of concerns by parties involved in the grievance;

3. promotes communications to establish better working relationships between parties involved in the grievance; and

4. resolves the grievance at an early stage, if possible.

If the grievance is not resolved during an informal hearing an employee has the option of requesting a formal hearing. To view additional information on Grievances and Resolutions, please visit http://www.gwu.edu/~hrs/handbook/6.html#6.2.

The George Washington University complies with federal EEO laws prohibiting discrimination and the District of Columbia Human Rights Act of 1977. Therefore, discrimination complaints may be based on:

• Race

• Sex
• National Origin
