The Grievance Chair is appointed by and responsible to the executive committee of the Faculty Senate.
The purpose of this web site is twofold:
(1) to assist the grievance chair, panel members and presiding officer in performing their responsibilities as outlined in the Administrative Appeal and Grievance Policy and Hearing Procedures; and
(2) to inform potential grievants, faculty advocates and ombudspersons of the grievance process.
Grievances may arise out of administrative action or situations for which administrative action could provide a remedy. It is required that a complainant pursue administrative appeal prior to requesting a grievance hearing. Grievances may arise out of decisions concerning reappointment, tenure, dismissal, promotion, salary, working conditions, discrimination, or any other matters related to the employment of a faculty or unclassified professional member or other unclassified personnel. Administrative appeals and requests for grievance hearings may be filed by current faculty or unclassified professionals.
