Preliminary Informal Procedure. Nothing set forth in the formal grievance procedure below shall prohibit an employee, either individually or through a union representative, from seeking to resolve a potential grievance informally, with the person designated by the College/University for that purpose. Should an informal discussion not produce a satisfactory settlement, the grievant may move the grievance to the first formal step. Informal discussions shall not serve to extend the time within which a grievance must be filed, unless such is agreed to in writing by the College/University official responsible for the administration of the first formal step of the grievance procedure.
