(see below for info from previous update) - Four female faculty members in a single department underwent promotional reviews in 2020-2021 (three for tenure and one for Professor). Following the promotions to tenure, the four filed a grievance alleging gender and race discrimination among several other violations of the collective bargaining agreement.

A settlement offer was made from Admin. The grievant did not accept the settlement offer. The case was then withdrawn (see below for info from previous update).

From the 5/18/22 Grievance Update:

The two NTT dismissal cases have been concluded (see below for info from previous update). In one case, the FSU Ex Com voted to not proceed to arbitration. The case was then withdrawn. In the other case, the settlement offer from Admin was not accepted by the grievant. That case was withdrawn as well (see below for info from previous update).

From the 5/18/22 Grievance Update:

The FSU received indications from the Administration that they intend to grant the course release eligibility for full-time Senior Lecturer II’s only to those SLII’s who have full-time continuing appointments as opposed to those SLII’s who are currently full-time but whose continuing appointments are less than full-time (see Article 21.2.3.a of the contract).

A faculty member received a formal notice of discipline per Article 17 for allegations of workplace misconduct. Upon review by the GC, the disciplinary notice was deemed to have been enacted without due process (there was inadequate documentation of alleged misconduct). A grievance was filed and placed in abeyance pending attempts at informal resolution. Informal meetings have taken place but no resolution has been achieved to this point.
