The College of Veterinary Medicine is dedicated to maintaining a positive environment for study and training in which students can pursue educational and professional activities in an inclusive, humane, and respectful environment. Mistreatment is defined as a student being mistreated or used in a capacity that is not considered reasonable. Mistreatment is considered destructive of the principles that guide the program's mission, vision, and goals. When assessing behavior that might represent mistreatment, students must consider the conditions, circumstances, and environment surrounding such behavior.
Procedure: When mistreatment is believed to have occurred, the initial step is to report the concern. All members of the program are encouraged to report incidents of mistreatment. Those who wish to report a concern are advised to seek out any faculty member or the Interim Associate Dean of Student Engagement and Success to discuss an allegation of mistreatment. Students who experience mistreatment on a clinical rotation should seek out the Director of Clinical Education. Informal resolution will be sought out in this manner.
A consultation with a University Ombudsperson is strongly encouraged if a student wishes to file a formal complaint, which is often the final step to resolving concerns. The Ombudsperson can assist the student and provide the proper avenue for filing the complaint. The Medical Students Rights and Responsibilities policy contains additional information about filing a formal complaint (sections 5.2 and 5.3)
