University Committees

Many aspects of the University’s operations are conducted by or with the advice of councils, committees, and other organizations. ​

Faculty-Staff Grievance Committee ​

It is the responsibility of the Faculty-Staff Grievance Committee to deliberate on decisions in which an unclassified employee considers to be unfair or discriminatory because of the application of some non-meritorious factor, charges of incompetence or unsatisfactory performance of duties or other similar allegations. To that end, this committee is responsible for securing prompt and equitable solutions to such grievances of faculty, including adjunct faculty members and other unclassified employees.​​​
