Confidentiality Hearings that involve personnel matters will be closed to those not appearing as participants. Witnesses will be present only while testifying. The hearing officer's reports and tapes, as well as the vice president's or president's decision, are confidential but will be made available to the parties on request. The requesting party must pay reasonable duplication costs. Within seven days after receipt of the grievance, the Human Resources campus director will return the claim to the employee with a written notice explaining why the claim is premature.
HR is available for advisement on actions that are nongrievable.
