If a satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved using the informal procedures listed in Appendix B or if anyone involved in a sexual harassment situation wishes to bypass the informal procedures, the following formal procedures are available: those identified as Positive Action Procedures in the University of Wisconsin-Stout Faculty/Academic Staff/Limited Appointees Handbook and those identified as the Student Disciplinary Procedures in the UW-Stout Student Handbook. The status of the alleged harasser determines the choice of hearing procedure. 

1.1  There are procedures for requesting a hearing by the appropriate existing faculty committee (UWS and UW-Stout 6), academic staff committee (UWS and UW-Stout 13) or student committee (UWS-17). Complaints and grievances should be made in accordance with the guidelines, including the time lines, specified in the sources cited above. 

1.2  If the person(s) accused of discrimination is/are classified staff, either represented or nonrepresented, there is no provision for a formal hearing. If an investigation uncovers sufficient grounds, management may discipline the harasser, who may, of course, appeal the discipline using the union grievance procedure.
