Attempt at Informal Resolution Sample Clauses
The "Attempt at Informal Resolution" clause requires parties to try to resolve disputes or disagreements through direct communication and negotiation before pursuing formal legal action or arbitration. Typically, this involves notifying the other party of the issue and engaging in good-faith discussions, sometimes within a specified timeframe, to reach a mutually acceptable solution. The core function of this clause is to encourage efficient, cost-effective dispute resolution and to prevent unnecessary escalation to litigation, thereby saving time and resources for all parties involved.

If, during a meeting between the supervising administrator and the faculty member, the supervising administrator concludes that discipline could reasonably result from the information provided by the faculty member; the supervisory administrator shall inform the faculty member of such and allow the faculty member to seek representation from the SCVFT.
