Bullying, Harassment and Complaints
The preference of the University is to resolve conflicts and complaints in a timely fashion and as close as possible to the source.
In handling complaints, the application of the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice requires that:
- a person against whom an adverse decision may be made must be informed of any allegations against them in as much detail as possible;
- the person must be given an opportunity to respond to the allegations, and
- decision makers must act fairly and without bias.
