The Grievance Committee provides a venue for the right to a legitimate appeal. The committee considers faculty allegations of misconduct by providing a hearing to seek redress and the correction of abuse or injustice. The committee has jurisdiction over matters of professional ethics, academic freedom, conditions of employment, and the well-being of the faculty. The role of the committee is to hear the grievance, create written findings of fact, determine the merits of the allegations, and recommend sanctions, if any.
