DEI Dropbox
What happens to your submission?
- Your comment will be read by the DEI director, Dr. Betty Dennis.
- Dr. Dennis will contact you if appropriate to follow up and get more information. The college’s marketing manager is copied on all submissions as a backup.
- Your comment will be shared with the dean, and depending on the circumstances, additional resources and recommendations may be provided.
- Specific or urgent concerns are elevated as needed, to the college’s academic affairs office, directly to the dean of the college, or to the University Ombuds office. The CHHS DEI director has no contractual authority to intervene with WMU staff or faculty. Therefore we guide submissions to existing WMU processes and procedures to resolve concerns wherever possible.
- We respect privacy in cases that require confidentiality. Sometimes, that need is obvious, but you may include a request for confidentiality in your comment. General questions and non-private submissions will be shared with the DEI committee to initiate conversations about policy recommendations for the college.
- The form is anonymous; you do not have to leave your name or email unless you want someone to respond to you. In many cases, contact information may lead to a more satisfying or complete resolution of an issue. However, submissions here are treated seriously with or without contact information attached.
