Grievance pilot program: Rejected at last FS meeting. Concerns which were expressed: a)Size of panel too small, influence of manipulated swing votes could become too significant b)Not enough data to evaluate pilot program FS officers and other faculty met with UM System and IFC representatives. RP&A feels that these concerns were adequately addressed as follows: Pilot program allows for two parallel panels. Our campus would have the option of using both for all hearings and thereby effectively increase the size of the panel. It was also pointed out that the oversight committee plays a much more important role than assumed so far in our deliberations.

Whereas the position of interim chancellor is significant, the FS respectfully requests that the S & T faculty's opinion be considered in the selection of the interim chancellor. Motion by RP&A:
