Temple University
students who believe that instructors are
introducing extraneous material into class
discussions or that their grades are being
affected by their opinions or views that are
unrelated to a course’s subject matter can
file a complaint under the University’s policy
on academic rights and responsibilities. The
full policy can be found at:
http://policies.temple.edu/getdoc.asp?policy_no=03.70.02
The policy encourages
students to first discuss their concerns with
their instructor. If a student is
uncomfortable doing so, or if discussions with
the instructor do not resolve the student’s
concerns, an informal complaint can be made to
the Student Ombudsperson for the student’s
school or college. Unresolved complaints may
be referred to the dean for handling in
accordance with the school or college’s
established grievance procedure. Final appeals
will be determined by the Provost.
