Disciplinary Investigation. Prior to an investigation required by Article 11.1, the unit member and United Academics shall be provided written notice of the investigation, the allegations being considered, the possibility of disciplinary action and the right to union representation. The unit member shall be provided an opportunity to meet with the appropriate administrator to respond to the allegations and may be represented by a United Academics representative. Unit members subject to investigation may be placed on investigatory leave with pay during the course of an investigation if their continued presence poses threat of harm to themselves, others, or the University, as determined by the University. Such investigatory leave shall not be considered disciplinary action. In the investigatory meeting, the unit member shall be permitted to respond to questions and to provide information or evidence relevant to the allegations under investigation. A unit member who elects not to attend, or who refuses to answer questions during the investigatory meeting, shall be considered to have waived the right to respond to the allegations prior to the potential disciplinary action.
