• Remember that a grievance is defined in Article VII of the Agreement is a written allegation that there has been a breach, misinterpretation, improper application, or failure to act pursuant to [the] Agreement.

• A formal grievance must be filed on approved forms within 20 working days of the time you became aware or should have become aware of the problem. It is important to keep records and date receipt documents you receive from representatives of the administration.

• An administrator or the administration in general is the grieved party. The grievant can either be a faculty member, group of faculty members, or the union.

• Many matters can be resolved by the timely intervention of the AAUP, often without the filing of a grievance. Let us know as soon as you think you have a problem. We view the grievance procedure as a dispute-resolution and a problem-solving mechanism, not as a means to blame.
