SUBJECT:	Proposed Revisions to Policy and Procedure Manual
	Section 230-5, Non-Senate Academic Appointees/Grievances

I am pleased to submit for formal campus review proposed revisions to UCSD Policy and Procedure Manual (PPM) Section 230-5, Non-Senate Academic Appointees/Grievances.

The proposed revisions reflect updates to Academic Personnel Manual (APM) Section 140 and are intended to provide for a clearer and more timely grievance process for non-Senate academic appointees. The proposed revisions clarify the role of the grievance liaison at UCSD, specify the UCSD academic appointees covered by this policy, and provide additional details on each step in the grievance process.

The draft revised policy is available at:

If you have comments or questions regarding the proposed revisions to PPM 230-5, please contact Amy Rosen, Director of Academic Employee Relations, Academic Personnel Services, at arosen@ucsd.edu no later than March 5, 2008.
