Investigations Procedure. The Unit Administrator or executive administrator will inform the faculty member that an investigation is being conducted. Faculty members have the right to Federation representation at any meeting that may lead to progressive discipline. If the College determines that any investigation may result in discipline, the Federation President will be notified when the faculty member is notified. The date and time of the investigative interview will be sent in writing to the faculty member with a copy to the Federation President. Prior to any investigative interview, the faculty member will be informed of their right to have union representation during the interview process. The faculty member is responsible for contacting a union representative to be present in the interview. This does not preclude other representation. If the faculty member’s choice of union representative is not available for the scheduled investigative interview, the meeting may be postponed for up to five (5) days to arrange for a union representative to be present in the interview. Any necessary changes to a scheduled investigative interview will be sent in writing to the faculty member and a copy to the Federation President prior to the rescheduled interview. Investigations shall be completed as timely as possible with the goal of conclusion within sixty (60) days. Upon request, the Federation and the faculty member will be advised of the status of any investigation. In the event of a necessary extension beyond the 60 days, notice will be given to the faculty member, union representative, and/or administration as needed. A copy of the completed investigation report will be sent to the Federation President within 10 days after the formal conclusion of the investigation.
