- Description:
- Keith Groty, former MSU Assistant Vice President of Personnel and Employee Relations, talks about his involvement with the university's Faculty Grievance Procedure (FGP). Groty says that he supported the FGP because he saw it as a mechanism for heading off faculty unionization, but that he really didn't have a role in the development of the FGP or the position of Faculty Grievance Official (FGO). Groty also says that MSU's FGP has worked through the years because it found an appropriate balance between the administration's power and faculty concerns. He talks about the failed faculty attempts at unionization and says that the main issue at MSU was always the disparity in faculty pay. Groty is interviewed by Robert Banks, former Associate Vice President for Academic Human Resources and professor emeritus of the James Madison College at MSU, and John Revitte, MSU professor emeritus of Labor and Industrial Relations. Via telephone.

- Michigan State University Professor Emeritus E. James Potchen, M.D. amd former chair of the MSU Radiology Department, talks about representing the university administration in the faculty grievance process. Potchen says that ninety-nine percent of the problems presented to the Grievance Office were the result of misunderstandings and that he didn't have to prepare very much for individual cases because there was so much redundancy in the type of grievances filed. Potchen also talks about why MSU created the faculty grievance process, attempts to unionize MSU faculty, the attitude of MSU President Peter McPherson toward MSU faculty having a voice, the move of the medical school to Grand Rapids, the changes MSU President Cecil Mackey made at MSU, his own role in the development of medical programs at MSU and his career as a professor and administrator at the university. Potchen is interviewed by retired MSU Professor of Labor Studies and former Faculty Grievance Officer John Revitte.

- Clifton Wharton, former president of Michigan State University, talks about his role in the creation of the university's Faculty Grievance Policy (FGP) and Faculty Grievance Official (FGO). Wharton says that he was comfortable with labor unions and that the FGP was not created to thwart faculty unionization efforts. In fact, he says, most MSU faculty preferred the grievance model he proposed to unionization. Wharton also talks about the structure of the land grant institution he inherited in 1969, some of the innovations he implemented during a time of tremendous social change, his relationship with MSU Board of Trustees and the uproar over the public disclosure of MSU faculty and staff salaries. Wharton is interviewed by Robert Banks, former MSU associate provost and associate vice president for Academic Human Resources and John Revitte, MSU professor emeritus of Labor Studies.
