Any person who believes someone has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability may file a grievance under this procedure. Persons who allege discrimination, file a grievance, or participate in investigating a grievance may not be punished or retaliated against for doing so.

Our procedure:

• Grievances must be submitted to our Nondiscrimination Coordinator within (60 days) of the date the person filing the grievance becomes aware of the alleged discriminatory action.
• A complaint must be in writing, containing the name and address of the person filing it. The complaint must also state the problem or action alleged to be discriminatory and the remedy or relief sought.
• Our Nondiscrimination Coordinator (or another person he or she names) shall investigate his or her complaint. This investigation may be informal, but it will be thorough, giving all interested persons an opportunity to submit information or evidence relevant to the complaint. Our Nondiscrimination Coordinator will maintain our files and records relating to such grievances. To the extent possible, and in accordance with applicable law, our Non-Discrimination Coordinator will take appropriate steps to preserve the confidentiality of files and records relating to grievances and will share them only with those who have a need to know.
• Our Nondiscrimination Coordinator will issue a written decision on the grievance, based on a preponderance of the evidence, no later than 30 days after its filing, including a notice to the complainant of their right to pursue further administrative or legal remedies.
• The person filing the grievance may appeal the decision of our Nondiscrimination Coordinator by writing to our designated Director of Compliance within 15 days of receiving the Nondiscrimination Coordinator’s decision. Appeals should be directed to the following address. A written decision in response to an appeal will be provided no later than 30 days after receipt.
