STAFF RESOURCES

Diversity

The Institute for International Medicine embraces diversity and recognizes our responsibility to facilitate a welcoming learning environment where students, faculty, instructors, and staff of all backgrounds can learn and serve. We commit to fostering a learning environment where diversity of opinion and perspective is welcomed, and where students, faculty, instructors, and staff can engage thoughtfully in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Although there is great diversity in our academic body, the INMED community is unified by a shared mission of serving the forgotten of this world. We apply this policy to our recruitment, admissions, employment, evaluation, disciplinary, and advancement practices.

Non-Discrimination

INMED will not tolerate discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, disability, age, or genetic information. The more detailed Non-Discrimination Policy can be found here.

The grievance process provides a means to resolve disputes which have not been resolved through the normal process of reasoned discussion. The grievance process is intended to clearly define the matters that are at issue; to assure the staff member that their complaint or problem has been presented to and considered by appropriate institution officials and bodies; and to assure the institution community that decisions involving staff members in their relationship to the institution are fully considered.

This process is available to any staff member who has a grievance with respect to employment, salary, assignment of duties, or working conditions. The grievance process is to be used when the staff member has been unable to resolve the matter with the Vice President of Operations.

The aggrieved staff members shall submit a written appeal through the Questions & Concerns Online Form, and transmit that appeal along with any supporting documentation, to the President. Where the grievance is against the action of the President, the appeal and supporting documentation shall be submitted to the Vice President of Operations (staff).

If a resolution is not reached through the above process, or if the staff member is dissatisfied with the resolution, the aggrieved member may contact the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development for information on filing a formal grievance against the institution.

Staff members are expected to uphold professional standards, contribute to a respectful workplace environment, and support the mission and values of INMED through ethical conduct and collaboration.
