Procedure and Time Limits Step Two 100 If the grievance is not adjusted at Step One, the Faculty Member or group of Faculty Members or the Association may, within five (5) working days of the Step One answer, which shall also be concurrently provided to the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, appeal the grievance, in writing, to the appropriate Xxxx or other designated administrative agent, setting forth his/her (their) objections to the Step One answer. Upon receipt of the written appeal or at the signed written notice when initiation is at Step Two, the Xxxx or other designated administrative agent shall promptly arrange a meeting through the EMU-AAUP office to discuss the grievance with the grievant(s), the Association’s Grievance Officer, and such other persons as he/she deems appropriate. It is not appropriate at this level for the grieved department head or other grieved administrative agent involved at the Step One grievance hearing to be present at a Step Two grievance hearing. This discussion shall be completed within seven (7) working days after the filing of the grievance at Step Two. If the grievance is adjusted at this Step to the satisfaction of the grievant(s), the Association’s Grievance Officer and the Xxxx or other designated administrative agent, the adjustment will be reduced to writing, signed by the parties, and a copy provided to each signatory, the EMU-AAUP office and the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs. If there is not adjustment, the Xxxx or other designated administrative agent must present his/her reasons in writing to the grievant(s) with a copy to the EMU-AAUP office and the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Xxxx or administrative agent shall reduce the adjustment to writing or provide the reasons for denial of the grievance in writing to the grievant(s) within five (5) working days following the Step Two meeting. If, within five (5) working days of receipt thereof, XXX’s Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, or his/her designee, serves the Association’s Grievance Officer with written notice of objection to the adjustment on the grounds that the adjustment adds to, subtracts from, or modifies the terms of this agreement, said adjustment shall be deemed null and void and the grievance remanded for further review at Step Two. Within seven (7) working days of notice of remand, the parties’ Step Two representatives and the grievant(s) shall complete their review. The grievance shall thereafter be processed, adjusted or appealed within the timelines and procedures as set forth in this Grievance Procedure.

Arbitration Rules (a) The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with this Employment Agreement, using as appropriate the AAA Employment Dispute Resolution Rules in effect on the date hereof.
