Construction & Scope. The parties to this Agreement recognize that effective performance and development of each Faculty member is a mutual concern and responsibility of the Faculty and of the University. At times, the imposition of a sanction may be necessary as a corrective measure. A sanction is a documented corrective action in response to a Faculty member's unsatisfactory performance of his/her duties and responsibilities as a member of the Faculty. A. The parties agree that the University has and retains the right to apply sanctions to members of the bargaining unit, up to and including termination of the employment relationship. However, it is further agreed that sanctions will only be applied for cause, and the question of just cause and/or the appropriateness of the sanction imposed in each situation may be tested under the appropriate sections of the Grievance and Appeals Article of this Agreement. B. The University and the Association mutually recognize the importance of timeliness, fundamental fairness, and appropriate procedural processes and safeguards as defined below, as well as of thoroughness of review, in matters relating to sanctions. The due process procedure specific to the issue of sanctions for cause is described in this Article.
