Article XVI:
Special Conferences

Special conferences for important matters of mutual interest may be arranged between the Grievance Committee Chairperson and the designee (as listed in Article XV) of the provost. Such conferences will not be used to circumvent the grievance procedure.

Arrangement for such special conferences shall be made in advance by the submission of a written agenda setting forth the nature of the matters to be discussed. The meeting shall be scheduled within fourteen (14) calendar days of the submission of a written agenda unless the parties mutually agree to delay the meeting. Attendance at such meetings shall be limited to five (5) representatives of each party.

It is understood that any matter discussed, or any action taken pursuant to such conferences, shall in no way change or alter any of the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement, or the rights of either the University or the Union under the terms of the Agreement.

Information About Graduate Student Instructors at the University of Michigan

Site updated March 31, 2008

Current or prospective graduate students seeking information on obtaining GSI/GSSA appointments should contact the academic department where they are enrolled, or plan to enroll. Information on all University of Michigan academic departments is located at http://www.umich.edu/units.php

Those seeking appointments outside of their current field of study may want to visit the University site designed specifically for units that customarily hire graduate students from other departments. That site is located at: http://www.hr.umich.edu/acadhr/grads/

This site is designed to provide information about GSIs, especially related to contract negotiations.
