University of Missouri Extension's Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy provides for prompt processing of complaints by employees and other qualified complainants through informal and formal procedures. Go to University of Missouri Extension's Complaint Procedures.
All employees are to be free from any or all restraint, interference, coercion or reprisal on the part of their associates or supervisors in making a complaint or appeal, in appearing as witnesses or in seeking information in accordance with these procedures. These principles apply with equal force after a complaint has been adjudicated. Should these principles be violated, the complainant may bring the facts to the attention of the AA/EEO officer so that appropriate action may be taken.
University of Missouri Extension provides EEO counselors to assist employees and applicants in resolving complaints of discrimination. Counselors strive to resolve complaints within five calendar days or less. Go to University of Missouri Extension's EEO Counselor Directory.
