But remember, you're not powerless. There are steps you can take to address the issue constructively and seek a resolution that respects your rights as a student and the responsibilities of the faculty.

1 Understand Issues

When you suspect unfair treatment, start by clarifying the issue. Reflect on the situation, and ask yourself if there's a possibility of a misunderstanding. Consider the faculty member's perspective and gather any relevant information or documentation, such as syllabi, assignment instructions, and email communications. This will help you articulate your concerns more effectively when you communicate with the faculty or the administration. Understanding the full context is crucial before taking further action.

We should try to listen to both the perspectives without being judgemental. After understanding the matter deeply meeting should be conducted wherein the issues of both the parties should be addressed and solution should be provided which should be acceptable by both. The process should be unbiased and non judgemental

Debe existir un canal de comunicación con la familia y si no hay apoyo, se recurre a un profesional (psicólogo) para apoyo. En nuestra experiencia, hay un porcentaje alto que reacciona cuando la familia y el psicólogo apoyan y se logra apoyarlos.

2 Open Dialogue

Open communication is key. Reach out to the faculty member involved to discuss your concerns. Do this respectfully and privately, either through email or by requesting a meeting. When expressing your feelings, focus on specific incidents or examples rather than general accusations. This approach can often resolve misunderstandings and provides an opportunity for both parties to learn and grow from the experience. Remember, the goal is to reach a mutual understanding and find a way forward.

3 Seek Support

If direct communication doesn't lead to a resolution, seek support from other resources within your institution. This could be an academic advisor, a department head, or student services. They can offer guidance on how to proceed and may provide mediation services. It's important to know your rights as a student and the procedures for filing formal complaints if necessary. Support networks can also offer emotional support during this stressful time.

4 Document Everything

Documentation is your ally. Keep a record of all interactions, including emails, notes from meetings, and any relevant documents. This paper trail is essential if you need to escalate your complaint to higher levels within the university. It shows that you've taken steps to resolve the issue and provides evidence to support your case. Documentation also helps you stay organized and focused on the facts when emotions run high.

5 Know Policies

Familiarize yourself with your institution's policies and procedures regarding grievances and disputes. These guidelines are designed to protect students and faculty alike and ensure fair treatment. Understanding these policies can help you navigate the system more effectively and empower you to advocate for yourself within the framework of your institution's rules.

It never helps your reputation to be corrected by a policy you should have, or worse, stated you were aware of. Ensure you are all over the relevant policies and procedures, and if your student is going to be beholden to them, ensure you send them a copy or signpost them to the policies you plan to discuss, and advise them to request support via the student representative body or a neutral third party, if possible. Remember it can be daunting for students to digest policy and procedure that you yourself are very familiar with. Give them space to accept and understand.

6 Plan Next Steps

After you've gathered information and support, plan your next steps. This might involve writing a formal complaint or preparing for a meeting with an ombudsperson or other university official. Approach this with a clear objective in mind and be ready to present your case calmly and coherently. Whatever the outcome, remember that this process is part of your educational growth, teaching you valuable skills in advocacy and conflict resolution.

If a student feels unfairly treated by faculty members then the following steps should be taken: 1. Request the student to meet with their tutor to understand the nature of the complaint. 2. Once the root cause of the issue is identified then consult with student support services and academic colleagues to confidentially discuss the matter based on the presented evidence. 3. If the evidence proves that there was fair or unfair treatment then take the following steps: signpost the student to obtain the right support and/or request the faculty member to seek training/help to ensure that there is no repeat of the situation. 4. The important thing is to keep an open mind and maintain a positive trajectory of the student's academic progress.
