13.1 Additional information on other aspects of employment for CA staff is included in eight appendices attached to this policy statement.
13.2 CA staff are covered by all policies, rules, regulations and ordinances of Michigan State University. However, in the interest of avoiding ambiguity, it is stated that the rules of the tenure system, the Interim Faculty Grievance Procedure, and the Revised Procedures for the Dismissal of Tenured Faculty for Cause do not apply to the CA staff because separate rules and procedures covering these topics are provided in this policy statement.
13.3 Changes to the CA System may be proposed by any member of the CA staff or by the Laboratory administration. Upon receipt of any such proposal (in written form, and seconded by at least two other CA staff members) the Director will appoint a committee consisting of two CA members from each of the professional areas (sec. 1.1) and two TS faculty to make a recommendation regarding proposed changes. The Director will review such recommendations and make such changes as she/he determines necessary. Copies of the revisions as proposed by the Director will be sent to all CA staff then in the CA system, after which with a delay of one week, a comments meeting will be scheduled by the Director to receive advice on the proposed changes from anyone who wishes to participate. Noting the comments received, the Director will confirm or modify the proposed modifications and will forward the proposal to the Provost with copies to each CA staff member. The Provost will hold the proposed modifications for a period of one month. If, during this month, written request is made to the Provost by at least three CA staff, the Provost will schedule a comments session with the Laboratory Director and all CA staff, to receive advice and comments on the proposed changes. Noting the comments received, the Provost will confirm or modify the proposed changes and, with notification to all CA staff, modifications approved by the Provost will be put into effect.
