Mediation to Final Conclusion. If the problem remains unresolved after all these efforts have been exhausted, the Union or the University may request the assistance of a mediator acceptable to both parties to the Agreement. The objective of the mediator will be to seek a fair and equitable solution which takes into account the needs of the employee and the University. The mediator may make recommendations for the resolution of the problem and, if a consensus is still not reached, will make a final decision. However, the mediator will have no authority to make a final decision on any matter which does not involve the interpretation or application of the terms of the Agreement including the provisions of the Manual determined to be arbitrable. The University and the Union will work closely with the mediator in this process, and all reasonable resources will be made available.
