Grievances

The Faculty Professional Relations Committee (FPRC) is authorized to hear, mediate, and advise with respect to the adjustment of grievances of members of the faculty. Grievances within the province of the committee's power include matters directly related to a faculty member's employment status and institutional relationships within the constituent institution.

The FPRC is not authorized to hear grievances regarding the non-reappointment, suspension, discharge, or termination of a faculty member, which are the province of the Hearings Committee.

A description of the grievances that fall within the province of FPRC and the procedures for redress are described in Section 607 of The Code and in Section VI of Policies of Academic Freedom and Tenure.
