  18. Moreno Report and the Senate The formal Academic Senate processes do not offer a viable solution to these issues. Few complaints and grievances regarding incidents of perceived discrimination reach the Charges or Privilege and Tenure Committees. The process for bringing a formal complaint or grievance can be bewildering to faculty members, and can take months to conclude. Some faculty members who considered instituting proceedings told us that they had concluded they could not afford legal fees for counsel. Other university stakeholders said that they considered the Academic Senate processes to be a last resort for individuals who had nothing to lose, such as a professor who has been denied tenure. In short, the prospect of engaging in the quasi-litigation that characterizes a Privilege and Tenure Committee proceeding deters many faculty members from using that process.

  19. Moreno Report and the Senate • Last year, modified by-laws of the charges committee • Collected information on number of cases, types of cases through Senate judicial processes; documentation of process paths through grievance advisory committee and charges committee • Request to each Senate committee and Faculty Executive Committee • to consider the Academic Senate bylaws, polices, and procedures from the lens of your committee mandate with a view toward improving our climate of inclusion and better enabling our commitment to fight discrimination and harassment. What changes should we make with regard to Academic Senate processes, bylaws, and procedures? • Task force: Susan Ettner, Corinne Bendersky, Robert Cooper, • MaiteZubiaurre, Juliana Gondek, Russell Thornton • Suggestions: jreiff@ucla.edu
