The Policy Open Comment Period is a mechanism that provides the Georgia Tech campus community an opportunity to have a voice in the policy process on newly proposed Institute policies and when substantial changes are made to existing Institute policies. You may submit comments via this Open Comment form. If you would like to sign-up for email announcements when policies open for Campus Comment click here.

There is one policy open for campus comment until June 23, 2025

Consolidated - Grievance Appeal Policy: The Grievance Appeal Policy retires and consolidates the Impartial Board of Review Policy, the Suspension without Pay Appeal Policy and the Demotion Appeal Policy into a new Grievance Appeal Policy (7.3). While existing policies have individual and separate dispute/appeal processes, the new Grievance Appeal Policy established the Impartial Board of Review (IBR) as the sole appeal process for staff to dispute covered administrative actions (to include suspensions without pay, demotions, and dismissals/terminations for cause) in a manner that is consistent and aligns with relevant USG/BOR policies and procedures. The policy explains requirements and use of the Impartial Board of Review appeal process and is intended to decrease employee confusion as to which policy to review regarding an employment matter. There are no new requirements or prohibitions outlined in this policy, just aligning terminology and ensuring readability for employees.
