Informal Resolution Process It is the declared objective of the University and the Union to encourage the prompt resolution of potential causes for dismissal in the interest of maintaining harmony within the campus environment. Whenever practicable, before a formal recommendation for dismissal is initiated, every effort should be made to resolve or remediate the problem.

The Department Personnel Committee, the Department Chair or Head, the individual concerned, and his or her union representatives may review the matter and explore a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter. The Xxxxxxx and/or appropriate Xxxx may, upon request of the Department Personnel Committee, the Department Chair or Head, the individual concerned, or the union representatives, join in the discussions about resolving the matter. Informal attempts at resolution shall not extend beyond thirty days without the written agreement of the individual concerned and the Xxxxxxx.
