Employment Problem Resolution
Middlebury employees have several avenues to resolve conflicts within the workplace.
Civil Rights and Title IX Office
The Civil Rights and Title IX Office is designated by the President of the College to receive and process complaints of harassment brought by Middlebury faculty, staff, and students under Middlebury’s Non-Discrimination Policy.
Ombudsperson
The President of the College appoints ombudspersons each year, to help facilitate employee needs with problems related to employment at Middlebury. They are available at all times. Dealings with ombudspersons are strictly confidential unless an employee agrees to share information in order to resolve a problem. An ombudsperson’s help is prompt, impartial, and confidential. Ombudspersons are trained to:
- Listen and acknowledge experience.
- Provide answers to questions or to assist in finding someone who can.
- Direct employees to resources to understand Middlebury policies and procedures and their application to an individual employee.
- Provide resources for employees to carry complaints forward to the appropriate party, often Human Resources, Title IX or other institution offices.
