- Michael Harrison, Michigan State University's first Faculty Grievance Official (FGO), reflects on the development of the Faculty Grievance Policy (FGP) at the university and his role in the grievance process.

Former MSU FGO and interviewer John Revitte compares his experience as FGO with Harrison's and two also discuss the pros and cons of the current system.
