Equity Grievance Panel members are an informal source of advice and referral for those who seek a solution to problems of discrimination, harassment, or sexual assault, or who wish to discuss their concern before deciding whether to file a formal complaint.

 

Equity Grievance Panel members endeavor to listen to and respect the wishes of an individual who brings forward a discrimination or harassment concern. You are not alone. 

It may not be possible, however, for a conversation with a panel member to be kept in confidence due to ethical and legal obligations to investigate incidents for the protection of all members of the community. Said another way, the adviser may not be able to simply to listen, without taking action.

An individual who wishes to receive emotional support only should contact one of the following confidential counseling resources:

Panel members are trained in all aspects of the grievance process to:

  • Provide sensitive intake and initial counseling of complaints
  • Participate in conflict resolution
  • Investigate complaints
  • Act as advisers to those involved in complaints
  • Serve on hearing panels for complaints, and 
  • Serve on appellate panels.

 

EGP members also recommend proactive policies, and serve in an educative role for the community. EGP members receive annual training organized by the Title IX Coordinator, including a review of Colgate policies and procedures so that they are able to provide accurate information to members of the community. All EGP members are required to attend this annual training. All administrative advisers also undergo training with the panel regardless of whether they are formally appointed to the panel.
