REQUEST/APPEAL FOR RECONSIDERATION OR COMPLAINTS

Any faculty member has the right to request for reconsideration or complain for any
document or points claimed that were not considered by the CFSPB, or the ranking and the list
of promoted faculty members. He/she shall do so before the results are endorsed by the
Campus Executive to the UFSPB.

The request for reconsideration or complaint will be filed with the CFSPB for expeditious
adjudication as possible in the best interest of the University and the faculty concerned. In case
the faculty member is not satisfied with the evaluation of the CEC and the decision of the
CFSPB, he/she may file an appeal for reconsideration and review with the UFSPB or may
elevate to higher authority/ies.

PROTEST/GRIEVANCES

Any faculty member who feels aggrieved by the recommendation/action of the
UHRMPSB may present his/her protests/grievances with the University Grievance
Committee in relation to the faculty promotion. This should be filed within the period before
the list of promoted faculty will be approved by the University President and forwarded to
the Board of Regents for confirmation.

The Grievance Committee shall have the protest/grievances adjudicated as
expeditiously as possible in the best interest of the University and the faculty concerned.

Complaints/grievances/protests shall be resolved at the lowest possible level and if
the faculty member is not satisfied with the action and decision of the University Grievance
Committee, he/she shall have the right to appeal the decision to higher University authority
or to the Board of Regents.
