Grievance Policy While Acacia University endeavors to maintain a congenial and responsive atmosphere for its students conducive with its educational purposes, it recognizes that from time to time, misunderstandings and disagreements may arise during the course of a student’s enrollment. In response to this situation, Acacia University has established procedures to resolve problems and ensure fair adjudication of student rights. Initially, disagreements, complaints, misunderstandings, and grievances can be resolved by the University by using informal discussion, exchanges, persuasion, and other informal procedures. It is the intent of this policy to maximize these informal procedures so long as such measures prove effective. The formal procedure provisions of this policy should be set in motion only when the informal procedures prove to be or manifestly will be ineffective. It is expected that the great majority of cases will continue to be handled in accordance with informal procedures. If a student feels that he or she has been treated unfairly or unjustly by an employee, online mentor, instructor, or professor with regard to an academic process such as grading, testing, or assignments, the student must submit a written statement of the grievance, including the allegation; all relevant names and dates, a brief description of the actions forming the basis of the complaint; and copies of any available documents or materials that support the allegations, to the Office of Student Affairs (xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx), who is the final authority on all academic matters. If a student has a grievance on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, age, marital status, national origin, physical disability, veteran’s status, any other basis prohibited by applicable US federal, state, or local laws or any other matter, the student must submit a written statement, including the allegation; all relevant names and dates, a brief description of the actions forming the basis of the complaint; and copies of any available documents or materials that support the allegations, to the Office of Student Affairs (xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx). The student’s grievance will be assessed within 30 days. If the complaint cannot be resolved after exhausting the institution’s grievance procedure, the student may file a complaint with the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education. The student must contact the State Board for further details. The State Board address is: 0000 X. Xxxxx, Ste. 3008 Phoenix, AZ 85007 Direct Line (000) 000-0000 Fax (000) 000-0000 Website: xxx.xxxxxx.xxx Students who are or were students of Acacia University and who believe that the school, or anyone representing the school, has acted unlawfully, have the right to file a complaint with the accrediting commission: Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) 0000 00xx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxx 000 Washington, DC 20036 Website: xxx.xxxx.xxx DEAC has an “Online Complaint System” that enables individuals to file a complaint directly from the DEAC website. The complaint form may be found at xxx.xxxx.xxx (select “Contact Us” and select the link in the left-hand column). All complaints should be submitted using this form. For those who cannot access the Internet, written complaints will be accepted provided they include the complainant’s name and contact information and a release from the complainant(s) authorizing the Commission to forward a copy of the complaint, including identification of the complainant(s) to the institution. Where circumstances warrant, the complainant may remain anonymous to the institution, but all identifying information must be given to DEAC. Written complaints must contain the following: the basis of any allegation of noncompliance with DEAC standards and policies; all relevant names and dates and a brief description of the actions forming the basis of the complaint; copies of any available documents or materials that support the allegations; a release authorizing the Commission to forward a copy of the complaint, including identification of the complaint(s) to the institution. In cases of anonymous complaints or where the complainant requests for his/her name to be kept confidential, the Commission considers how to proceed and whether the anonymous complaint sets forth reasonable and credible information that an institution may be in violation of the Commission’s standards and whether the complainant’s identity is not necessary to investigate.

The maximum amount payable during the term of the Agreement shall be seven dollars ($7.00) per member per month.
Attendance Policy Existing policy requires that an employee notify management in advance of the scheduled shift start when said employee is absent from work. This policy also requires an employee to notify management in advance of the scheduled start of the work shift when this employee will be late in reporting to work. Generally, these provisions are most relevant to unscheduled absences. There are two situations which occur relative to tardiness. The first, involves an employee who has not called in before the start of the work shift as is required by existing policy. The second applies to an employee who calls in before the start of his or her work shift:
Section 1. Employee Fails to Call in Before Start of Work Shift: An employee who is tardy and has not called in before the start of his or her scheduled work shift will be considered to be in an unauthorized leave status. The first occurrence of this type tardiness will result in the employee receiving a verbal reprimand and being docked pay as below. A second occurrence within a twelve (12) month period will result in the employee not being permitted to go to work thereby forfeiting eight hours pay, and also, it will result in the employee receiving a written reprimand from the Supervisor. A third occurrence within a twelve (12) month period will result in an automatic three- day suspension without pay. A fourth occurrence within the twelve (12) month period will result in the scheduling of a pre-disciplinary conference with the employee being recommended for dismissal from service with the City of Xxxxxxxx.
Section 2. Employee Calls in Before Start of Work Shift as required When an employee is tardy and has notified management in advance of the start of the scheduled work shift, a different set of circumstances will initially occur. The first occurrence of such tardiness will be considered to be an excused absence; however, the employee will be docked an appropriate amount of pay in accordance with the length of time he or she is tardy. If the crew is still at the garage, the employee will be docked for lost time in increments as follows: Period Late Time Docked 16 - 30 minutes ½ hour 30 - 60 minutes 1 hour In the event the crew has left for the job site and the employee must be transported by a Supervisor to the site, the employee’s time for pay purposes will be started when he or she reaches the job site. Again, the amount of pay which will be docked will be figured in time increments as above. In the event an employee has a second occurrence of tardiness within a thirty-day period, even though he or she has called in, the employee will receive a verbal reprimand from the Supervisor. Appropriate loss of time policy will be in effect as described above. In the event an employee has a third occurrence of tardiness in this manner within a ninety-day period, the employee will be issued a written reprimand concerning the violation of Departmental attendance policies. In the event the employee has a fourth occurrence of tardiness within a six-month period, the employee will be considered for disciplinary action involving a minimum three-day suspension without pay. In this particular situation, such disciplinary action will be meted out after a pre-disciplinary conference is scheduled by management. If additional tardiness occurs within a one (1) year period, the employee will again be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from employment with the City. Such disciplinary action will be meted out after a pre-disciplinary conference is scheduled.
Section 3. An employee will not be disciplined under Section 2 of this Policy if the employee has six (6) or fewer unscheduled absences for any time off, including, but not limited to, vacation, sick leave, compensatory leave, holiday leave, and funeral leave within a
Section 4. Excessive absenteeism or tardiness results in disruption to the scheduled activities, an excessive waste of supervisor and management time in transporting employees to job sites, and further results in a hardship on other employees who are available for work at the start of their work shift as required.

However, the amount of any payment of principal or of interest on the Insured Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the Insurance Account shall be noted as provided in paragraph (d) below and in the statement to be furnished to holders of the Insured Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02.

(d) In the event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any Insured Amount has been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall so notify the Certificate Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Certificate Insurer of such Preference Amount in the amount of such voided Insured Amount, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Certificate Insurer, notify, by mail the holders of the affected Insured Certificates that, in the event any holder’s Insured Amount is so recovered, such holder of an Insured Certificate will be entitled to payment pursuant to the Policy, a copy of which shall be made available through the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Certificate Insurer, its records evidencing the payments which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from the holders of the Insured Certificates, and dates on which such payments were made.
(e) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Insured Certificates. Each holder of an Insured Certificate, by its purchase of such Insured Certificate, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each holder of an Insured Certificate and the Trustee hereby delegates and assigns to the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Trustee and each holder of an Insured Certificate in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to any adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.

The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer’s rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the holders as otherwise set forth herein.
