OAR 291-006-0070
Discrimination Complaint Appeal Process

(1) An AIC may appeal the initial discrimination complaint response using a discrimination complaint appeal form.
(a) The appeal must include the original discrimination complaint, attachments, and staff response(s).
(b) The appeal must comply with the timeframes set forth in OAR 291-006-0050 (Discrimination Complaint and Appeal Timelines).
(c) The scope of the original discrimination complaint cannot be expanded on appeal.
(2) No additional information may be submitted, unless the AIC can clearly articulate how the information was unavailable to the AIC at the time the original discrimination complaint was filed or if the initial discrimination complaint response noted that the information was missing and the submitted information is directly related to the alleged issue being reviewed.
(3) After the discrimination complaint appeal has been date stamped and recorded the AIC will be issued a return receipt. If accepted, the discrimination complaint appeal will be forwarded to the Adult in Custody Complaint Review Committee (AICCRC).
(4) The AICCRC will review all accepted appeals and make a recommendation to the Inspector General or designee.
(5) An AIC’s discrimination complaint appeal will be responded to by the Inspector General or designee upon review of the AIC’s complaint, documentation, and the recommendation of the AICCRC within the timeframes set forth in OAR 291-006-0050 (Discrimination Complaint and Appeal Timelines).
(6) The Inspector General or designee’s response is final and not subject to further review.
(7) If an AIC has filed a Notice of Tort Claim with the Oregon Department of Administrative Services while an AIC has an active discrimination complaint appeal, and the primary remedy sought by the discrimination complaint is monetary relief, then DOC may, in its sole discretion, discontinue further processing of the discrimination complaint appeal and notify the AIC of the conclusion of the administrative review process.
