AAUP-UC Hearing Committee

In addition to the grievance officer, AAUP-UC Bargaining Unit members can contact the AAUP-UC Hearing Committee with issues or questions related to academic freedom or due process as explained below. For full details, see section 7.2 of the Utica College – AAUP-UC CBA.

The AAUP-UC Hearing Committee shall, upon written request of the affected bargaining unit member, review any case in which

  1. such member alleges a violation of academic freedom regarding such member
  2. such member alleges that the procedures for renewal or non-renewal of appointment, tenure, or promotion employed by the FAC, the Provost or the President of the College were inconsistent with the provisions of the Utica College – AAUP-UC CBA
  3. such member alleges that the procedures for recommendation of sabbaticals by the FRC were inconsistent with the provisions of the Utica College – AAUP-UC CBA
  4. such member, if tenured or having continuous appointment, wishes to appeal his or her dismissal for adequate cause as provided in section 11.1 of the Utica College – AAUP-UC CBA

In the case of alleged procedural inconsistencies as provided in clauses 2 or 3, the Hearing Committee shall not consider the merits of the matter but shall consider only whether or not there was a violation of procedure.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the Utica College AAUP-sponsored Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign. We collected more than 50 toys for children in need this holiday season, and we also raised $112 from the 50/50 raffle at the AAUP-UC Holiday Party, which will be donated to the local Toys for Tots program.

Thanks for your generosity and thanks to Tom Fryc for leading the campaign!
