Petition for Removal of Derogatory Information. Two (2) years after derogatory information has been placed in a unit member’s official personnel file, the unit member may request it be removed from his or her personnel file. If approved by the College President (or Chancellor where appropriate) and the principal Human Resources Officer, or designee, the material will be removed. If the District denies the request, and if no further administrative action has been taken pursuant to the document(s) in question, then the unit member shall have the right to have the documents sealed. The District shall place the documents in a sealed confidential envelope within the personnel file if after two (2) years there have been no similar instances of conduct. The information in the envelope will not be accessible except under the direction of the Chancellor or the principal Human Resources Officer, or designee.
