Is there a time limit in filing a complaint of discrimination?
There is no time limit for bringing a complaint of discrimination; however it may be difficult to substantiate any allegations after significant time has passed. Therefore, prompt reporting of complaints is strongly encouraged. In all internal University of Kentucky formal procedures for handling complaints of sexual harassment the complaint may be filed within 180 calendar days from the date of the alleged violation(s). In the event the complainant files a complaint after the 180 calendar day limit has expired, the Provost or Executive Vice President shall determine whether extenuating circumstances warrant investigation of the complaint under the applicable formal procedure.
