SenEx set to grind grievance ax

A proposal to streamline the grievance procedure currently used at the University of Kansas will be discussed at today's meeting in the University Senate executive committee.

The proposed revision, which recommends a unified University judicial system, was suggested by Frances Heller, professor of Law. Heller studied and then compiled a
summary of all University grievance procedures last semester at the request of SenEx.
He declined to comment on the study.
We're a comment on the study, Gerard Harden 2015, and we are asked, said the summary would be presented to the committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities for specific recommendations.

Basketball band has new sound changes from jazz to pop format
Zuther said the study took its form from charges that had been in the committee for
James Barnes, band director, said the change was made for two reasons.
The KU basketball band has discarded its jazz format this year and adopted a peb band arrangement that emphasizes pop tunes.
"We didn't feel that the jazz band was going over very well," Barnes said. "I used to get terrible mail from 'Monday morning majors.' Why didn't we play this, or that."
Also, Big Eight and NCAA tournament rules specify that a band can have only 35 members, and electronic amplification is prohibited, Barnes said.
The jazz ensemble had only 21 members, but amplification was necessary for the band to be heard over the din of the crowd.
When KU was in post-season play a new band had to be organized and rehearsed, Barnes said.
Barnes said the new format gives the band Flexibility, with three musicians on a part, as opposed to only one in the jazz band.
several years. It was begun several times, but each time difficulties arose because of the subject's complexity.
"Right now the grievance code is as confusing as it is instructive," he said.
SENEX DECIDED it would be easier for one person to undertake the study than for a group. Zuther said. Heiler was approached because of his legal background.
Heler's recommendations for streamlining the grievance procedure centers on the establishment of a unified University judicial system, Zuther said.
He said anyone with a grievance, after exhausting alternatives in one section, would be sent to the next unit in the company and received more authority than the preceding one.
The proposed system would be organized on a linear basis as opposed to the present branched one.
"It makes a lot of sense." Zuther said. "This system would sweep up all bodies and sub-bodies that have sprung on an ad hoc basis.
"It is streamlining in the best sense of the word."
Zuther said a reorganized system would be easier to use and would eliminate the need for extra help, such as the University ombudsman.
HE SAID that the ambulman was helpful for persons having problems with grievance procedures, but that such help should not be required.
"You should not need an interpreter for the process," he said. "A person with a grievance should know where to go."
Zuther stressed that the recommended revisions were only the first step toward a restructuring of the University grievance system. At the last SexEnEx meeting, the summary and suggestions were discussed and agreed to agree that the report should go to FRRP.
Today, a SenEx subcommittee will ask FRPR to make specific recommendations on the summary.
When the recommendations are completed, Zuther said, they will be sent to the proper administrators for possible implementation.
"If it could be implemented in the spirit which it is described," he said, "it would help a lot of people involved in the grievance process."
"It is a fairly massive revision, and would require resources in terms of time and manpower. If it works as well as it seems to it will," its resources could probably be found.
