Bloomington Faculty who have been adversely affected by administrative action have several avenues for seeking review. The faculty member typically begins by discussing the action with the department chair, executive associate dean or other senior administrator in the individual’s unit. If a satisfactory compromise is not reached, the faculty member may consult with the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. If no informal resolution is achieved, a faculty member may seek the assistance of the Mediation Committee or file a formal grievance with the Faculty Board of Review.
Where to start
If you are ready to file a grievance, contact Lana Spendl, Director of the Faculty Council Offices who will process your request and connect you with the Mediation Committee or arrange for a Board of Review.
