<br />dismissal from the program. Any student under the influence of drugs or alcohol <br />while on AAAOM premises will be subject to discipline, including dismissal <br />from the program. Students should advise the Academic Dean of any use of <br />prescribed drugs which may affect the student's judgment, performance or <br />behavior. <br /> <br />Student Grievance <br /> <br />AAAOM encourages truthful and frank dialogue among students, between <br />students and faculty, and between students and the administration. In order to <br />facilitate communication and satisfactory resolution of grievances, the following <br />process should be followed: <br /> <br />I. The individual with the grievance should first attempt to resolve the issue <br />directly with the student concerned. <br />2. If this dialogue fails to resolve a grievance, the individual may arrange a <br />meeting with the Academic Dean for appropriate resolution of the problem. <br />3. If the individual still believes the grievance has not been dealt with <br />satisfactorily, he/she may make a written request to the Academic Dean for a <br />hearing with an AAAOM Grievance Committee. A Student Grievance <br />Committee enables students to pursue grievances against the administration or <br />faculty. The responsibilities of the committee include: hearing the grievance; <br />hearing the AAAOM's response; reviewing any action taken; gathering relevant <br />information; preparing a recommendation to the president of the Academy. The <br />Grievance Committee, appropriate to the issue, will be formed of three members, <br />including faculty, student and/or administrative personnel (who are not involved <br />in the grievance). <br />4. After the decision of the Grievance Committee, if the individual believes the <br />ruling is unfair, he/she may choose to contact the Minnesota Higher Education <br />Services Office at 1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 350, St. Paul, Minnesota, <br />telephone number: 65 I -642-0567, for further assistance. <br /> <br />Student Handbook <br /> <br />45 <br />
