Procedural Time Limits. The number of days indicated at each level should be considered maximum. Every reasonable effort should be made to expedite the process. Time limits may, however, be extended by written mutual agreement. If a grievance is initiated at such a time that it cannot be processed through all levels of the grievance procedure by the end of the academic year, the time limits set forth herein shall be reduced appropriately so that the in-house grievance procedure may be completed prior to the end of the academic year or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Failure by the grievant to timely proceed to the next level shall terminate the procedure. Failure by an administrative official to timely comply with a decision or other deadline will authorize the grievant to proceed to the next step or level.
