5.11 Grievances Pertaining to Non-Reappointment of Untenured Faculty
Untenured faculty whose appointments have not been renewed may request the review of the Grievance Committee. Such requests must be made subsequent to the faculty member's receiving written notification that the appointment will not be renewed; further, the appeal must be made within 30 days after the receipt of notification from the provost.
The faculty member shall set forth, in writing, the nature of the grievance and factual evidence pertinent to the case for the Grievance Committee's deliberation. The appeal shall include a statement of the faculty member's agreement to the presentation before the Grievance Committee of such reasons and evidence as the university may wish to bring forth in support of its decision. When the Grievance Committee has reviewed the case and arrived at a decision, it shall transmit the notification in writing to the faculty member, the college dean, and the provost.
Please note restrictions specified in the charter of the Faculty Grievance Committee. (See Sections 5.8 and 5.9.)
