We are usually successful in restricting discussion of a grievance in this way. After a grievance has been resolved, the AAUP reserves the right to publish pertinent information about the grievance without revealing the identity of the grievant . We believe that keeping faculty members informed about grievance-related matters is a key aspect of the Executive Council's responsibility to uphold the contract and serve the faculty. That Can Be Grieved Our collective bargaining agreement states that any violation of the contract is a grievable offense. In addition, if an administrative action is taken which is not in accordance with the procedure required by the policies specified in Article XVII, Section 17.1, such alleged procedural error shall be grievable.
All departments have workload guidelines.
Making individual course assignments or other assignments that deviate from these guidelines is grievable. Administration decisions in these areas cannot be arbitrary. Our collective bargaining agreement mandates that such decisions be made in accordance with procedures spelled out in the Faculty Handbook . Any deviation from these procedures is grievable. In any situation where a faculty member is at all uncertain about whether to file a grievance, the faculty member should contact the Contract Maintenance Officer immediately for advice.
