Grievance Appeals Committee

Purpose

The purpose of the Grievance Appeals Committee is to review the decision made by the Level Two hearing officer (or former manager, if a termination appeal) and to make a recommendation to the Chancellor to either uphold, reverse, or remand the decision, in addition to any other recommendations that may be appropriate for the Chancellor’s review.

For each request for an appeal, a committee of four will be called to serve from the committee pool of representatives eligible to serve. The Grievant and an Administrator designated by the Chancellor will each select two individuals from the pool. (If a termination appeal, the Grievant and the Grievant’s former manager will each select two individuals from the pool to serve.)

Committee Composition

The standing pool of Grievance Appeals Committee members will consist of:

• four representatives from each of the four employee associations, appointed by the associations,
• four administrators appointed by the Chancellor, and
• ten volunteer employee representatives selected by the ERO on the recommendation of Association Leadership.

Appointed Representatives of the standing pool will serve a term of two academic years.

Volunteer Representatives will serve for one academic year and, to ensure long-term diversity, may not serve consecutive terms.
