The Statute of
Politecnico di Torino has introduced since 2000 the position of Student
Guarantor.
Art. 18 of the
Statute states:
- The Student Guarantor is appointed by the
Didactic Joint Committee as a contact person for students’ guarantee purposes.
He/she is chosen among the University professors not belonging to the
Committee.
- The Student Guarantor, on the basis of the
reports received by the students and following the necessary inquiries,
proposes to the competent bodies appropriate action and reports to the
Committee.
- For matters involving personal privacy issues,
the Guarantor of Students reports directly to the Rector. The Guarantor is
appointed by the Didactic Joint Committee as prescribed by the Statute.
As far as students’
reports are concerned, the Guarantor has established the following procedure:
students should write a message by email to
garante.studenti@polito.it specifying
the problem to be examined, or write a traditional letter with the same content
at:
Garante degli Studenti
Comitato Paritetico per la
Didattica
Politecnico di Torino
Corso
Duca degli Abruzzi, 24
10129 – Torino
The traditional
letter and the e-mail must be signed and must include the necessary references
so that the Guarantor can get in touch with the author.
The e-mail must not
contain attachments; the matter must be completely written in the text of the
message; any additional documents, such as spreadsheets with the collection of
signatures, must be sent or delivered to the office of the Didactic Joint
Committee and shall contain a reference to the e-mail sent (sender, date and
time).
The Guarantor
receives only written reports and is not available for phone calls; if the need
arises, the Guarantor will get in contact by letter or telephone with the author
or the representatives of the authors.
The Guarantor shall
take all appropriate action to preserve, where possible, the personal privacy
of students who decide to go to him. Every message will be filed and will
remain available for further actions useful to other students who are in the
same situations.
