Common use of Discipline Standards and Procedures Clause in Contracts

Discipline Standards and Procedures. The University shall not impose discipline except for adequate cause. The University subscribes to the principles of progressive discipline except when summary action is necessary and appropriate. Any disciplinary action shall be predicated upon a violation of this Agreement or of the University's rules or standards of professional conduct including consistent failure to fulfill responsibilities in the academic unit. Only Administration officials can initiate Article 9 disciplinary proceedings, but anyone, including the academic unit head, may provide the official with information relevant to deciding whether to implement Article 9 proceedings. In the event that a student has a complaint against a Faculty Member, the student should be encouraged to meet with the Faculty Member, with the Ombudsperson or with the academic unit head in order to resolve the complaint. It is preferable, but not required, that the meeting be with the Faculty Member. If the student's complaint remains unresolved, the student may proceed under the Student Grievance Procedures, as established by the Board from time to time. However, nothing shall prevent an appropriate University official from commencing a proceeding under this Article 9 for any violation of this contract.
