This is clearly out of bounds. Johns Hopkins has, as outlined above, consistently been willing to discuss issues of this nature with all the parties mentioned in SLAC's demands.

Every employee has a right to file a grievance over decisions or conditions affecting employment.
At the university, this grievance procedure includes the right to appeal employment decisions. The Johns Hopkins University. All rights reserved.
