ARTICLE IV. FACULTY GRIEVANCES PROCEDURES

Section A. Purpose: General

To further the aims of IU Indianapolis in teaching/performance, research/scholarly activity/creative work/professional development, and professional/public service, the faculty has established grievance procedures. These grievance procedures serve the Voting Faculty of the IU Indianapolis campus by providing peer evaluation with respect to adverse actions by university officials including administrative actions of dismissal, academic freedom, non-reappointment, tenure, promotion, salary adjustment, and the nature or conditions of work. The grievance procedure also allows appeals by academic appointees concerning sanctions imposed under university or campus misconduct policies. Voluntary or involuntary separation from the university does not disqualify one’s eligibility to initiate or continue a grievance procedure, provided it is otherwise within the timeframe for doing so and the terms of any separation agreement. Equity for the individual and the good of the university shall always be considered.

Section B. Purpose: Ombudsteam

1. The IU Indianapolis Ombudsteam is an elected faculty group designed to be available early on in the course of emerging concerns or potential grievances. It is further designed to provide designated places and persons for faculty to voice concerns and learn about options for channeling criticisms and addressing complaints so that faculty can be fully informed about possible actions and consequences before they make a decision as to what steps, if any, to take next. The IU Indianapolis Ombudsteam serves all IU Indianapolis faculty, including both full- and part-time faculty and librarians who may utilize these grievance procedures and other faculty and librarians who may wish to voice concerns but otherwise lack standing to file a formal grievance.
   1. The Ombudsteam members are available to serve as impartial consultants for faculty/librarians and administrators who seek confidential informed advice from senior faculty colleagues.
   2. Unless otherwise permitted in writing by the faculty member seeking consultation, Ombudsteam members will maintain confidentiality and will not disclose information shared by the faculty member with any other person or entity unless required to do so by law.
   3. The Ombudsteam members also may take the following actions:
      1. Identify and evaluate options and possible solutions to respond to concerns
      2. Provide coaching
      3. Subject to the confidentiality requirement, engage in shuttle diplomacy or informal mediation
      4. Make referrals to appropriate resources within and outside the university for additional support
      5. With the faculty member's or librarian's consent and without serving as an advocate for the individual, connect concerns with relevant university administrators, offices, and representatives
      6. Advocate for fair, objective processes for addressing and resolving concerns and potential grievances
      7. Encourage and facilitate discussions between the parties to the emerging concern or potential grievance; and
      8. Other actions consistent with applicable university policy and law
   4. At the conclusion of its work, the Ombudsteam shall not compile any report or file containing the specific information about any concern or potential grievance brought to it.
   5. No member of the Ombudsteam who is involved in a particular matter may be part of any other formal activity regarding the particular faculty member’s situation, such as a conduct characterization committee, post-tenure review committee, or Board of Review. The Ombudsteam members do not act on behalf of faculty members who proceed with a formal grievance.

Section C. Purpose: Faculty Board of Review

1. 1. A Faculty Board of Review’s purpose is to consider grievances, filed via the IU Indianapolis Board process: including gathering appropriate information, holding a Formal Hearing if warranted, and considering findings in light of existing policies and principles of fairness. The Board of Review shall file a written report of its findings and recommendations in a timely and expeditious manner.
   2. In each formal grievance case, the Faculty Board of Review acts in an impartial way. It is not an advocate for the faculty member or librarian, nor is it an advocate for the administration. The Board shall determine:
      1. whether appropriate procedures were followed;
      2. whether the grievance arose from inadequate consideration of the qualifications of the faculty member or librarian;
      3. whether information was improperly considered or excluded by the decision-maker in a way that substantially affected the decision; and
      4. whether essential fairness was accommodated throughout the decision-making process.
      5. Boards of Review may consider the issues set forth in this subsection regarding promotion and/or tenure grievances, but a Board of Review shall not function as a substitute Promotion and Tenure Committee.
      6. To the extent that these issues may involve judgments about the academic value of the grievant’s contribution to the discipline, the Board may not consider the merits of the underlying decision.
   3. In those cases in which the Board of Review concludes that the rights of a faculty member or librarian have not been adequately protected, the Board is expected to formulate a recommendation for remediation.
   4. In cases of misconduct, research misconduct, conduct characterization committees, or similar misconduct representation, the Faculty Council Executive Committee will determine appropriate representation from the Board of Review Pool on a case-by-case basis. If a misconduct action is then grieved through the Board of Review process (by request of the grievant), the representative who assisted the prior process cannot be chosen to be a member of the grievant’s Board of Review.

Section D. Submission of Grievances

1. A faculty member or librarian seeking advice about or informal assistance with review of an administrative action may contact:
   1. the President of the IU Indianapolis Faculty; or,
   2. the Chair or any member of the Ombudsteam.
      1. A list of the Ombudsteam members will be available in the IU Indianapolis Faculty Council Office and listed on its website.
2. A faculty member or librarian may consult informally with a member of the Faculty Ombudsteam before filing a formal grievance for a Board of Review.

Section H. Procedures for Beginning a Formal Board of Review Hearing

1. A faculty member or librarian desiring a formal review of administrative action shall submit to the President of the Faculty or the Board Coordinator a specific written request for review stating:
   1. the category or categories of the grievance actions involved (dismissal, academic freedom, non-reappointment, tenure, promotion, salary adjustment, nature and conditions of work, or misconduct);
   2. the nature of the grievance in a concise summary of the grievance scenario;
   3. the steps taken to have the grievance redressed prior to contacting the President;
   4. the university official(s) grieved against; and
   5. the redress of the grievance sought.
2. The Chief Academic Officer of IU Indianapolis shall immediately be informed of the request. If discrimination or sexual harassment is alleged in the complaint, a copy of the complaint shall also be sent to the IU Indianapolis Office of Civil Rights Compliance.
   1. The determination of whether discrimination or sexual harassment has occurred is in the purview of the Director of the Office of Civil Rights Compliance. The Board of Review shall not render an opinion concerning the existence of discrimination or sexual harassment.
   2. The Board of Review can proceed, however, with a formal hearing concerning the conditions of work, essential fairness of treatment, and other aspects of the grievance generally in the purview of Boards of Review. A simultaneous investigation of charges of discrimination or sexual harassment by the Director of the Office of Civil Rights Compliance shall not delay the Board of Review process.
   3. A faculty member or librarian may not file a Board of Review grievance against the Director of the Office of Civil Rights Compliance. Rather, any faculty or librarian complaint concerning the Office of Civil Rights Compliance may be brought to the Executive Committee of the IU Indianapolis Faculty Council, which shall gather appropriate information and advise the Chancellor.
3. If the Chief Academic Officer of IU Indianapolis is unable to resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the faculty member or librarian within two weeks, the President of the Faculty shall submit the grievance to the Faculty Council Executive Committee to determine that:
   1. administrative reviews have been completed;
   2. the complaint was brought within one year, for good cause; and
   3. the complaint falls within the purview of a Faculty Board of Review.
4. If the conditions of Section H.3 have been met, the Executive Committee shall constitute a Board of Review to consider the grievance (See Section G). In the motion approving the appointment of a Board of Review, the Executive Committee shall specify a reasonable time period during which the hearing should be conducted and the final report issued. The time period should allow for the timing during the academic year, but should not generally exceed six months. However, the time period established may be modified during the summer.
5. Disqualification
   1. A potential member of a Board of Review who is a member of a department (or a school which is not departmentalized) from which a case arises is disqualified from considering that case.
   2. A member of a Board who believes that he/she may not be impartial shall disqualify himself or herself, and a replacement shall be appointed by the Executive Committee provided that the formal hearing has not yet been initiated.
6. The Grievant may withdraw a complaint at any time. If the complaint is withdrawn prior to the appointment of a Board of Review, the grievant has up to one year to ask for the complaint to be reopened, even if the Grievant has (voluntarily) separated from the university (cf. sect. A.1 above). If the complaint is withdrawn after the appointment of a Board of Review, it is up to that board to determine at that time whether a future request by the grievant to reopen the case will be considered. If so, the grievant will have up to one year from the date of the appointment of the Board of Review to ask for the complaint to be reopened.
7. Among other things, Boards may be asked to review cases of Dismissal and Non-Reappointment
   1. Dismissal shall mean the involuntary termination of a tenured faculty member's or librarian's appointment prior to retirement or resignation, or the termination of the appointment of a non-tenured faculty member or a librarian prior to the expiration of his or her term of appointment. Dismissal shall be deemed legitimate only by reasons of:
      1. incompetence,
      2. serious personal professional misconduct, or
      3. extraordinary financial exigencies of the University.
   2. Non-reappointment shall mean the involuntary termination of a non-tenured faculty member or librarian at the time of the expiration of his or her term of appointment.

Section I. Board of Review Instructions, Meetings, and Reports

1. Before the first meeting
   1. Upon notice that a Board of Review will be convened, the Chief Academic Officer of IU Indianapolis shall have the appropriate administrator promptly furnish a written statement of the reasons for the action which led to the grievance. This document should be a concise narrative that provides pertinent background information and that addresses all of the points made in the Grievant's written request for review of administrative action.
   2. The Grievant may provide for the Board of Review a written response to this statement of reasons.
   3. In setting the date for a Formal Hearing, sufficient time must be allowed for the Grievant and other parties involved to prepare their case.
2. General Considerations
   1. The Faculty Council Office will provide logistical support for the Boards of Review and designate a Board Coordinator.
   2. The Board of Review proceeding does not delay the timing of administrative actions related to other policies and procedures.
   3. Throughout the Board of Review process, the Grievant and the Administration should communicate only with the Chair of the Board or the Board Coordinator and not with the other members of the Board.
   4. The Board may consult concerning clarification of legal matters at any time with the members of the Law School faculty who have been designated as the IU Indianapolis Board of Review consultants by the School of Law Executive Committee.
3. The President shall call the initial meeting of the Board of Review. At the first meeting;
   1. the President shall respond to procedural questions;
   2. the President shall present the Grievant's written statement, the Administration's written response, and the Grievant's written response to that (if any); and
   3. the presiding officer of each Board shall be elected by the Board's members from among its members.

   1. Proceedings should be conducted so as to guarantee that all parties have the opportunity to be present and participate in person or virtually.
   2. Both parties shall have the right to counsel or a representative of their choice. If external or University legal counsel are present, they shall offer private advice to their clients but may not speak during the hearing unless special permission to do so is granted by the Chair of the Board of Review. If the Grievant wishes to have another faculty member or librarian present as a representative, that person may speak during the hearing to help the Grievant present his/her case effectively, as long as the Chair of the Board deems that the representative's participation is not disruptive to the Board of Review process.
   3. The faculty member or librarian and the administrative parties shall be permitted to present witnesses and other evidence relevant to the case, and to hear and question all witnesses who are called to appear before the Board. So that the hearing is not unreasonably delayed, a witness may reply in writing to questions drafted by the board if the witness is unable to attend the hearing. Witnesses shall not be present in a hearing during the presentation of other witnesses unless all parties concur. The Board may deny the calling of a witness if they deem the person is not germane to the case.
   4. The faculty member or librarian making the complaint is responsible for stating the grounds upon which he or she bases the complaint.
   5. The hearing may also include observers, but observers will not be permitted to attend the hearing of the Board of Review if either the Grievant or the University Administration objects.
5. The Board of Review may request and secure further information from the Grievant and/or the university administration when it feels this is necessary to render a proper decision. The Chief Academic Officer (or Chancellor), Administration, and Grievant shall make available to the Board of Review all materials relevant to the decision against which the faculty member or librarian had complained, provided that:
   1. confidential faculty records of other faculty members and librarians shall not be made available to the Board of Review; and
   2. all further information obtained by the Board shall be shared with the parties to the grievance.
6. The Board of Review must comply with the Research Misconduct policy when gathering material for a research misconduct case.
7. An electronic record of the hearing shall be prepared at the University's expense through the Office of the Provost. The recording will be available to the Board during their deliberations. It also will be made available for confidential listening in the Office of the Provost on request to either party in the dispute. Copies of the recording may not be made for either party in the dispute. Upon completion of the Board's review, the recording, along with the Board's written documentation and correspondence, shall be kept in the Office of the Provost; provided that if the Board reviewed any letters of recommendation that had been obtained under pledge of confidentiality, such letters shall be returned to the original confidential file and shall not be part of the Board's stored materials. Four years after the completion of the Board of Review, the material shall be destroyed.
8. Board recommendations.
   1. Upon completion of the Formal Hearing and submission of additional written materials, the Board of Review shall meet in executive session to assess:
      1. whether a reasonable case has been made by the Administration to support the decision complained of by the aggrieved faculty member or librarian;
      2. whether essential fairness was accommodated in observing the formalities and in following the procedures; and
      3. whether the challenged actions are inconsistent with the policies of Indiana University or the policies of the school or division involved.
   2. The Board shall render a decision within two weeks.
   3. If the Grievant withdraws the grievance, the Board of Review process shall cease and no Board of Review report shall be compiled.
9. The final report.
   1. The Board must make a Final Report that includes:
      1. the nature of the grievance and redress sought,
      2. a summary of the findings of the Board,
      3. conclusions of the Board based upon the findings,
      4. recommendations of the Board based upon the conclusions, and
      5. signatures of the Board members.
   2. Copies of the Final Report must be communicated to:
      1. the Chancellor of IU Indianapolis;
      2. the Grievant;
      3. the appropriate School administrative officer;
      4. the President of the Faculty;
      5. the Chief Academic Officer;
      6. the Office of the Provost; and
      7. each member of the Faculty Board of Review.
10. Unit Recommendation Report.
    1. Upon completion of the Final Report, the Board may prepare a Unit Recommendation Report recommending changes in the operation of the academic unit that could benefit the prevention of future grievances.
    2. A Unit Recommendation Report shall be communicated to the dean of the academic unit, the faculty president of the academic unit, and the Chancellor of IU Indianapolis.
11. Administrative response.
    1. Any review by the University Administration of the final report of the Board of Review shall be limited to information that has been presented to the Board of Review, and shall remain within the confines of sections C.2 and I.7.a of the present article, as will any determination by the Administration to agree or disagree with the recommendations of the Board.
    2. Should the Administration in its review chance upon any information that affects in any way the decision-forming process but that was not previously communicated to the Board of Review, this new information must be shared promptly with all parties to the grievance. The President of the IU Indianapolis Faculty Council, upon consultation with the Board of Review, shall then determine whether the new information warrants a reexamination of the grievance.
    3. In cases where any such information cannot be legally disclosed to all parties, the Administration shall promptly inform all parties to the grievance of its existence, identify it under a general nondisclosure category, and clarify the extent to which that information influences its final decision.
    4. The Chancellor of IU Indianapolis shall report the Administration’s final decision within four weeks after receiving the report of the Board of Review. Copies of this report shall be sent to all parties that received the final report of the Board of Review in accordance with section I.8.b of the present article.
    5. If a recommendation of the Board of Review is not followed by the Administration, the Chancellor’s report shall state in detail the reason(s) that the Administration disagrees with said recommendation, pointing out divergent interpretations of facts or erroneous representations of procedural handlings.
    6. If the Administration fails to state its reasons against the Board of Review’s recommendations, the President of the IU Indianapolis faculty shall
       1. inform in writing all parties that received the final report of the Board of Review of the fact, and
       2. include it in his or her report for the May meeting of the IU Indianapolis Faculty Council as described in section I.13 of the present article.
    7. Should the Administration agree with the findings and recommendations of the Board of Review but form in the end a decision not in harmony with the latter, the Administration shall clarify the extent to which its final decision was shaped by reasons outside the scope of the Review.
12. Further appeal by the Grievant may be made to the President of the University.
13. A copy of each final Faculty Board of Review Report and the Chancellor's response shall be kept in confidence in the Office of the Provost.

    1. the number of cases brought to the Faculty Boards of Review in each of the following categories: dismissal, academic freedom, non-reappointment, tenure, promotion, salary adjustment, and the nature or conditions of work; and
    2. in each category for each Board of Review:
       1. the number of cases in which the findings and recommendations of the Board supported the position of the grievant,
       2. the number of cases in which the findings and recommendations did not fully support the grievant,
       3. the number of cases in which the recommendations of the Board were sustained by appropriate and sufficiently documented administrative action,
       4. the number of cases and the extent to which the recommendations of the Board were denied by the administration and, within the latter,
       5. the number of cases that involved violations by the Administration of section 9 of the present article, and the general character of those violations.

Section J. Appeals for Sanctions Imposed Under Misconduct

1. A Faculty Board of Review convened to review sanctions imposed under a university or campus misconduct policy should adhere to the time limits for filing appeals and issuing recommendations specified in the relevant misconduct policies. If any time limit is not specified, the Board should adhere to the time limits for reviews of complaints set out in its campus policy. It may extend any deadline in the interests of fairness.
2. Because discrimination or misconduct situations may involve sensitive information, proceedings shall be closed unless all parties agree to hold an open hearing.
3. The Board may not conduct new fact-finding. Its jurisdiction is limited to a review of whether the university’s decision to hold an individual responsible for misconduct and impose a sanction was appropriate based on the record before it. The Board in all cases shall be supplied with the reports, decisions, and recommendations previously prepared by university officials, and have access to all relevant materials gathered by university investigators.
4. Each party to the Appeal, as defined by the underlying misconduct policy, may present a statement to the Board, orally or in writing, personally or by an advisor. The Board may pose questions to any individual who makes a statement, but the parties may not.
5. Because issues of discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct or research misconduct may involve sensitive matters, specialized knowledge, or legal requirements, the university shall make available to the Board members appropriate training and information.
6. Unless a misconduct policy specifies otherwise, the Board may issue recommendations that (a) affirm the university’s actions, (b) recommend an alternative finding or sanction, or (c) recommend that a new investigation be conducted because of a significant error in the original investigation.
7. The Board’s recommendations shall be addressed to the appropriate university appellate official specified in the underlying misconduct policy. If no official is specified, its recommendations shall be sent to the campus Chancellor and/or chief academic officer.
8. The grievant has a right to make a final appeal to the president of the university, who may delegate the task of reviewing such appeals. 

Section K. Confidentiality

1. The activities of the Boards and the Faculty Ombudsteam shall be carried out in confidence.
2. Confidential material shall be treated in accord with the Indiana University Policy ACA-27 “Access to and Maintenance of Academic Employee Records.”
3. Public statements concerning the details of any case are to be avoided by the individuals involved, including Board members, Faculty Ombudsteam members, the Grievant, or other faculty member or librarian raising a concern or potential grievance, witnesses, observers, and administrative officials, prior to and during the hearing, and to the extent practicable at all times thereafter.

ARTICLE V. PARLIAMENTARY AUTHORITY

Robert's Rules of Order (Most Recent Edition) shall govern the conduct of the meetings of the faculty legislative bodies except insofar as the Constitution or the Bylaws may otherwise provide.

ARTICLE VI. AMENDMENTS

Section A. Introduction of Amendments

A resolution to amend the Bylaws may be introduced at any regular meeting of the Faculty Council by any member thereof, by the Constitution and Bylaws Committee, or by written petition of at least 20 members of the Voting Faculty submitted to the President of the Faculty. Any resolution to amend the Bylaws not arising from the Constitution and Bylaws Committee shall be referred to that committee for review. The Constitution and Bylaws Committee shall report to the Council at its regular meeting.

Section B. Adoption

Adoption of an amendment to the Bylaws shall require a favorable vote of 2/3 of those present at a regular meeting of the Faculty Council, if prior notice of the intention to conduct a vote is given to members of the faculty and to members of the Council. If no prior notice is mailed at least two weeks prior to the meeting adoption will require a favorable vote of 2/3 of the total membership of the Faculty Council.

Section C. Clerical Modifications

The President is authorized, after consultation with the Chair of the Constitution and Bylaws Committee, to make simple clerical modifications to the Bylaws—such as corrections to spelling or punctuation, insertion or removal of cross‐references, or updating the Bylaws to reflect changes in the names of administrative offices or positions—provided that doing so in no way alters the intent of the text thus modified.
