Agreement to Arbitrate Claims

Date issued: May 1, 2002

All newly hired or rehired staff employees and existing staff, who voluntarily transfer to new positions (voluntary transfers) or are promoted within the university into posted positions, are required to enter into a written Agreement to Arbitrate Claims ("Agreement") as a condition of employment, transfer, or promotion. The Agreement does not replace the internal Staff Complaint Procedures, but rather provides for arbitration instead of court action.
