Students can submit a Case Report form to the committee to report any violation of Student Fairness and equitability:

• Fair treatment means people receive non-discriminatory attitudes regardless of their personal conditions. It means to treat students in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of their race, color, national origin, gender, or disabilities.
• Equitable treatment means people receive the same opportunity to reach a specific objective while specific considerations are in place. It means to give everyone in the class the same opportunity to learn.
