If a complaint is filed with ASHAC against an academic staff member, ASHAC will first review the complaint to determine whether the alleged conduct is a violation of university rules and policies or adversely affects the staff member\u2019s performance and obligations to the university. If the review does not find the conduct violates university rules and policies or adversely affects the staff member\u2019s performance and obligations to the university, the complaint will be rejected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ASHAC will then determine whether all or part of the complaint would be handled more appropriately by another department or individual at 51ÁÔÆæ and, if so, refer the complaint. For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Code of Conduct (SAAP 7-3) provides that violations of the Code of Conduct should first be reported to the employee\u2019s direct supervisor, department chair, or department head as appropriate.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complaints involving allegations of discrimination, consensual relationships, sexual violence, and\/or sexual assault should be referred consistent with 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Discriminatory Conduct and Consensual Relationships Policy (SAAP-5-1) and Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy (SAAP 5-2).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>ASHAC will inform the complainant of the date of the initial review within 10 working days of receipt.&nbsp; ASHAC will also inform the complainant of the results within 10 working days of the initial review.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\"><div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-2655\"><nav aria-label=\"Sidebar\" class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list uwm-p-navigation-list--gold-border \"><div class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list--title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/complaints\/\">Chapter 111 \u2013 Complaints<\/a><\/div><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/complaints\/definition\/\">111.01 \u2013 Definition<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"current\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/complaints\/review-of-complaints\/\"><span aria-current=\"page\">111.02 \u2013 Review of Complaints<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/complaints\/investigation-and-hearing-of-complaints\/\">111.03 \u2013 Investigation and Hearing of Complaints<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1287,"parent":2935,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"categories":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-2942","library","type-library","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>111.02 - Review of Complaints - Policy Library<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/complaints\/review-of-complaints\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"111.02 - Review of Complaints\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/policy\/library\/complaints\/review-of-complaints\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Policy Library\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/library\\\/complaints\\\/review-of-complaints\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/library\\\/complaints\\\/review-of-complaints\\\/\",\"name\":\"111.02 - Review of Complaints - Policy Library\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-02-02T22:35:40+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/library\\\/complaints\\\/review-of-complaints\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/library\\\/complaints\\\/review-of-complaints\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/library\\\/complaints\\\/review-of-complaints\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uwm.edu\\\/policy\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Chapter 111 &#8211;
