Documents and Forms

This page contains various documents and forms used under the Office of Equity & Compliance.

Pursuant to TBR Guideline P-080, the Office of the Chief of Staff is responsible for ensuring the prompt, thorough, and fair investigation of complaints of discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, creed, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, disability, age, status as a covered veteran and/or genetic information.

If you feel your rights have been violated, please complete the Complaint Form, contact the Office of Equity and Compliance at 901-333-5005 or visit us in the Parrish Bldg. Room 221.

Pursuant to TBR Policy 1.02.03.10 Conflict of Interest, employees to whom this policy applies who believe that a conflict of interest may exist either personally or with respect to another person covered by this policy are required to submit a written disclosure of the facts and circumstances surrounding the situation for evaluation by the COI Committee.

If you would like to make a disclosure, please complete the conflict of interest form, or email your disclosure to the COI Committee at coi@southwest.tn.edu. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Equity and Compliance at 901-333-5005 or visit us in the Parrish Bldg. Room 221.

Because Southwest is committed to a high quality resolution of every case, we afford the Complainant and Respondent an opportunity to appeal the Office of Equity and Compliance’s decision concerning Respondent’s responsibility for the alleged conduct.

If you would like to appeal the outcome of your case, you may complete the Complaint Appeals Form and submit it to equityappeals@southwest.tn.edu.

One important facet of Title VI involves providing meaningful access to programs and services for individuals that are considered to have Limited English Proficiency (LEP). Southwest does not discriminate in our programs and/or services based on an individual’s ability to communicate in English. To ensure that all individuals are able to communicate, either in writing or verbally, the Southwest utilizes Linguistica International to provide translation services on an as needed basis.
