What must a complaint include?*
The complaint must be in writing, clearly identify who the sender is, include a signature, and must provide HEA with the sender’s contact information. We suggest including address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
The complaint must be filed within 180 calendar days of the date of the last act of alleged discrimination.
The complaint must describe with as much detail as possible the actions or inactions by the HEA employee that resulted in discrimination, as well as the parties harmed or potentially harmed by the alleged discrimination.
*For additional information regarding HEA’s grievance procedure, please see HEA’s Policy on Nondiscrimination in HEA Programs.
HEA explicitly prohibits retaliation against any individual because that individual has filed a complaint or has testified, assisted, or participated in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing of any kind or has opposed any practice made unlawful under state or federal statutes or regulations. Any concern regarding retaliation should be reported to the Nondiscrimination Compliance Coordinator.
