The College of Arts and Sciences maintains a strong commitment to the principles of merit-based evaluation and salary equity.   

Academic departments in the College of Arts and Sciences are expected to have a grievance process articulated in departmental bylaws to include the makeup of the departmental grievance committee.  

Non-Salary Grievance 

The Professional Rights and Responsibilities of Faculty Members describe the professional standards faculty members are expected to maintain and provides a mechanism for addressing allegations that a faculty member has failed to meet those standards. 

Information pertaining to the campus policy can be found on the Faculty Relations website. 

Salary Grievance 

If a regular A&S faculty member (TT or Teaching / Clinical Professor) has cause to petition that their current base salary is not equitable within their own department / program / unit, then they have the right to file a grievance – following the guidelines of their home unit and the campus. 

Salary equity appeals submitted by the faculty member for consideration by the primary unit must be filed in the fall for resolutions during that academic year.
