Background: Human Resource Services has initiated and continued several significant projects for the University as described below:

A revision to the Grievance Policy and Procedure is presented for consideration of the Board of Regents. The following changes are proposed: remove Section 6.2.4.1.1 which provides an employee the opportunity to request a formal hearing before a Grievance Hearing Committee based upon “A charge of unfair employment termination.” While this is the only substantive change, if approved the removal of section 6.2.4.1.1 will necessitate the renumbering of items currently numbered 6.2.4.1.2 and 6.2.4.1.3. The policy is provided as an attachment with the proposed changes indicated.
