E. Grievance Committee Structure<br />
1. Anyone eligible to file a grievance through this process is eligible to<br />
participate in the election of members and to serve on the Grievance<br />
Committee.<br />
2. The Committee consists of five members, two of whom are employed in<br />
supervisory capacities. Once each year, each exempt and non-exempt staff<br />
member will be provided the opportunity to vote. Each staff group elects two<br />
regular members to serve a one-year term on the Grievance Committee. Two<br />
alternate members will also be elected to serve if a regular member leaves<br />
the employ of the <strong>University</strong> during the year or is otherwise unable to serve<br />
on a particular grievance. The Chairperson of the Grievance Committee is<br />
designated by the President. If the regularly appointed Chairperson is a party<br />
to a grievance, the President shall appoint another Chairperson. If during his/<br />
her term, a Committee member leaves the employ of the <strong>University</strong> or is<br />
no longer a member of the group he/she was elected from, and an alternate<br />
is not available, the President or his/her designee will appoint a temporary<br />
replacement from the employee group of the regular member.<br />
3. If an elected member of the Committee is a party to a grievance, has any<br />
reason to believe that he/she cannot be completely objective in considering a<br />
grievance, or wishes to be excused from the deliberations about a particular<br />
grievance, he/she will temporarily disqualify herself/himself. The President<br />
or his/her designee will appoint a temporary replacement from the employee<br />
group of the disqualified member.<br />
4. The Office of Human Resource Services is responsible for scheduling and<br />
conducting elections of the members of the Grievance Committee, arranging<br />
for grievance hearings, assisting with the hearing and notification process,<br />
and ensuring the integrity of the Grievance Procedure.<br />

All Separations from Active <strong>University</strong> Employment<br />
The <strong>University</strong> recognizes that an employee may separate from active <strong>University</strong><br />
employment for a variety of reasons which may be broadly categorized as either<br />
voluntary or involuntary in nature.<br />
Return of <strong>University</strong> Property<br />
An employee who separates from active <strong>University</strong> employment shall return all <strong>University</strong><br />
owned equipment and/or property charged to him/her before he/she shall be issued his/<br />
her final check. Such equipment or property may include, but shall not be limited to the<br />
following: uniforms, locker keys, ID badges and/or cards, laptops, cell phones, credit<br />
cards, office keys and materials, supplies or equipment issued or loaned to the employee.<br />
The following are the steps required to complete the employee separation process:<br />

<strong>University</strong> employment that he/she must return all <strong>University</strong> owned equipment<br />
and/or property charged to him/her before he/she may receive his/her final check.<br />
