Academic Issues
Issues regarding faculty members
Cameron University encourages students to meet with their instructor to attempt to resolve any issues and concerns. However, if a concern cannot be directly resolved with the faculty member, students may pursue a complaint by progressing through the administrative channels by contacting the instructor’s department chair, academic dean, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
English Proficiency of Instructors
It is the policy of Cameron University that all who provide instruction at the University shall be proficient in written, aural, and spoken English so that they may adequately instruct students. Cameron University has established procedures to ensure that faculty members have proficiency in written, aural, and spoken English.
A student who believes that an instructor is not sufficiently proficient in written, aural, or spoken English may file a written complaint with the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The identity of the complainant(s) shall remain confidential. Anonymous complaints will not be accepted.
