A faculty member who has a grievance petitions the Faculty Affairs
Committee for redress. The petition must be written and must set
forth in detail the nature of the grievance and against whom it is
directed. After submitting the petition to the chairperson of the
Faculty Affairs Committee, the petitioner is invited to present orally
the grievance before the entire committee. Following the presentation,
the Committee decides whether the grievance falls within its
authority, whether the petitioner has exhausted appropriate channels,
and whether the grievance merits a detailed investigation. If the
case is accepted, the chairperson will appoint a subcommittee to
investigate the case and then report back to the full committee. The
full committee then decides what further action is warranted.
